Objective¶

Learn how to add a comment in the code.

Requirement¶

Adding comments is a very handy way of adding documentation to your code, it serves as a tool to let others know what you have written and makes navigating your code an easy task.

Go has a specific format for adding comments and recommends adding comments wherever it makes sense.

Code¶

Adding a comment is pretty easy

// This is a comment

10 // Printing Hello World to the standard output
11 fmt.Println("Hello, World!")
12 }
