Comments

Comments in VectorScript are used to place descriptive text within script code. They are most often used to document script code for your reference and for others who may work on your scripts. The VectorScript compiler ignores comments.

The general syntax for VectorScript comments is:

{ <your comment text> }

The opening and closing braces indicate the limits of the comment text. VectorScript does not support C or C++ style comments.

It is highly recommended that you comment your code when writing your scripts. Script comments eliminate the frustration of trying to remember exactly how the code works when you (or others) need to revisit and modify a script at a later date.

The alternate syntax is parenthesis asterisk:

(* <your comment text> *)

This can be used to comment out a block of the script that may already contain comments.

For example:

 

(* block comment

{Some comment line.}

{Another comment.}

*)
