Comments
Introduction to Comments in Flowata
Comments are an essential tool for making your code understandable and maintainable. They allow you to annotate your formulas, providing explanations or reminders that make the code easier to follow. In Flowata, comments are not executed or evaluated; they're purely for human understanding.
In certain contexts like function calls, groups, and array elements, comments won't interfere with the execution of your code. If a comment is the only item present, it will be as if you entered a null
value, ensuring seamless functionality.
Types of Comments in Flowata
Flowata offers multiple ways to include comments in your code:
-
Single-line comments: These are perfect for quick notes or explanations.
Syntax:
// comment here
Example:
// This is a single-line comment
-
Multi-line comments: Use these for more detailed explanations or to temporarily disable sections of code.
Syntax:
/* comment here */
Example:
/* This is a multi-line comment */
-
Alternative single-line comments: Another way to add quick notes.
Syntax:
# comment here
Example:
# This is an alternative single-line comment
Effective commenting can make your code more accessible, easier to debug, and simpler to collaborate on. It's a good practice to comment on complex logic, important decisions, or any areas that might be confusing for others—or even for your future self.
