We can introduce comments to a code to make it more understandable and readable.
In the R programming language, we can add comments in two ways:
Let’s comment before a line of code.
# Comment before a code'Hello World'
Now, let’s comment after a line of code.
'Hello World'# Comment before a code
We can see that the comment after a code in R does not affect the code.
In addition to explaining a code, we can use comments to prevent a code from executing.
We use the # symbol right before the code to prevent it from executing.
# 'Hello World, hope you are fine?''Hello World, good morning!'
The R language is unique because it has no syntax for multiline comments. However, we can add # right before we comment to continue a comment in the following line.
# This is the first comment# this is the second comment# this is the third comment'Hello World'
