Comments
Prompto supports comments in the form of line comments.
A line comment is a line of text starting by //
in E and O dialects, or #
in M dialect.
Prompto code is ususally not stored in files, so a comment cannot be attached to a file location.
Instead, a comment is always attached to the next non-comment line of code.
In the below example, the line comment is attached to the attribute declaration.
Prompto does not support Java-style inline comments /* ... */
,
because it would be impossible to place them when translating code from one dialect to another.
For the same reason, Prompto does not support end of line comments, such as a = 2 // assign 2 to a
.
The O dialect ignores line breaks, while the E and M dialects don't, so they would dangle around when translated.
