Single-line comments start with two forward slashes (//).

Any text between // and the end of the line is ignored by the compiler (will not be executed).

This example uses a single-line comment before a line of code:

Example

// This is a comment
cout << "Hello World!";

This example uses a single-line comment at the end of a line of code:

Example

cout << "Hello World!"; // This is a comment
