Types of Comments in Pascal

Turbo Style Comment

The Turbo style comment can be used for multiple lines.

{ Comment }

Delphi Comment

The Delphi comment is good to use for a single line.

// This comments the whole line

Example 1

{  First Comment (*  second comment *) }

Example 2

(* First Comment { second comment } *)

Example 3

{ first comment //  Second Comment }

Example 4

(* first comment // Second Comment *)
