How do I comment out a block of code in Stan?

This feels like a duplicate question, but I can't find it anywhere here or elsewhere!

So, in R, you can comment out a block of code with Ctrl + Shift + C/Cmd + Shift + C. Does anyone know how to perform the equivalent action in Stan? All I know is that Stan uses // in place of R's #. I've tried Ctrl + Shift + //Cmd + Shift + /, to no avail.

Thanks so much for any help! :)

Solution

  • You can create a comment within your Stan code by using the following:

    /* this is a comment block
as opposed to a single
line block */
