<h1>Commenting out code</h1>
<p>You can comment out one or more lines of code. The leading characters <samp>//</samp>
are added to the beginning of each line.</p>
<p><b>Tip:</b> The characters <samp>/* */</samp> on lines that already are
already commented out are not affected when you comment and uncomment code as
described above.</p>
<p>To comment out code:</p>
<ol>
<li>In the C/C++ editor, select the line(s) of code that you want to comment out. If no lines are selected comments will be added (or removed) at the current cursor positition.</li>
<li>Right-click and do one of the following:</li>
<ul>
<li>To comment out the selected code, select <b>Comment</b>.</li>
<li>To remove the leading <samp>//</samp> characters from the selected
line(s) of code, select <b>Uncomment</b>.</li>
</ul>
</ol>
<b>Tip: </b>Instead of using the context menu (right click) you can quickly comment out by pressing CTRL+/ or remove comments by pressing CTRL+\.
