<p><a name="index-line-comment-character_002c-PJ-1616"></a><a name="index-PJ-line-comment-character-1617"></a>The presence of a &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">!</span></samp>&rsquo; or &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">/</span></samp>&rsquo; on a line indicates the start
of a comment that extends to the end of the current line.
<p>If a &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">#</span></samp>&rsquo; appears as the first character of a line then the whole
line is treated as a comment, but in this case the line could also be
a logical line number directive (see <a href="Comments.html#Comments">Comments</a>) or a preprocessor
control command (see <a href="Preprocessing.html#Preprocessing">Preprocessing</a>).

line.
