SIMPOL Documentation

Any string literal that is an L-value (found on the left side or beginning of a statement) is considered to be a comment. Such comments can even include the backslash character at the end of the line to allow them to extend across multiple lines. These comments are not considered to be line comments, but rather statement comments. If the string literal is closed then whatever follows it on the same line will not be considered a comment.

Another way of commenting is to use the double slash // to comment out an entire line. This comment type is line based and will also ignore the backslash line continuation character if it is at the end of the line. There is no method in the language for making block comments.
