Comments are pieces of a text used to annotate a program, and are technically another form of whitespace. Comments are for the programmer’s use only. They are stripped from the source text before parsing.

There are two ways to create comments in mikroPascal. You can use multi-line comments which are enclosed with braces or (* and *):

{ All text between left and right brace
  constitutes a comment. May span multiple lines. }

(* Comment can be 
   written in this way too. *)  
  

or single-line comments:

// Any text between a double-slash and the end of the
// line constitutes a comment spanning one line only.

Nested comments

mikroPascal PRO for PIC doesn’t allow nested comments. The attempt to nest a comment like this

{ i { identifier } : word; }

fails, because the scope of the first open brace “{” ends at the first closed brace “}”. This gives us

: word; }

which would generate a syntax error.
