Use individival comments with /* ................. */ /* ................. */ /* */ otherwise you can use // (double slash) If it is supported in that compiler

The first method is to use the /* and */ symbols to denote the beginning and end of a comment. The other way to put comments in your program is to use the // symbol. Everything from the // symbol to the end of the current line is omitted from the compiled version of the program
