(* *) (block comment)

Block Comment

This type of comment marks both the beginning and end of the comment. This allows a comment to span multiple lines, or can be used to comment out a section in the middle of a line. In addition, these comments may be nested, so it is possible to “comment out” a section of code that contains other block comments within it.

Examples:

(* This script greets the user with a suitable salutation. *)

put 2 (* + the dayOfWeek *) + 4 -—> 6
