I recently got an assignment where I volunteer to teach kids a basic programming language. I chose Small Basic, as it's relatively easy to learn and teaches the basics of programs (if, for and while).
I haven't used it much before (I learned how to do if/for/while loops but that's about it) and was wondering if there's a way to comment out lines of code at a time. For example, in C# you can do this:
//Comment
//Comment
Or
/*Comment
Comment
Comment/*
Is there a way to do the latter in small basic? I know you can do this:
'Comment
'Comment
Etc, but can you do a ton of lines at once?
Just like in Visual Basic, there is no way to handle multi-line commenting all at once. You have to manually input each apostrophe.
If you want to comment out a correctly-formatted piece of code, one way to "comment" it out would be to place it in an If (False) ... EndIf block, but it's generally not recommended in any language.
