Examples of comments

/*This is a comment*/
/****************************************************
*  Brenda Sonderegger                               *
*                                                   *
*  This is a comment that will be used to make the  *
*  program header stand out and be very obvious and *
*  easy to find.  This comment goes over several    *
*  lines. The "stars" are just used to highlight    *
*  the area and are not all needed.                 *
*  All comments start with slash star and end with  *
*  star slash. NO SPACES between them.              *
*                                                   *
