What happens if a program runs also its comments??!!

Question

It seams very weird to me.I cant really understand whats happening. I had a false on my code,decided to put a part of it on /*...*/ BUT when i run the program... this part of code is also executed!!!

EDIT: well this is the code i put in comments as you can see:

/*int menu()
{ 
 int code;
 while (1)
 {
 // printf("\nGive code:");
 // scanf("%d",&code);

 // int size=0;
 // int i;
 // i=findposD(code);

 // printf("Position of code: %d\n",code);      
// }
//}
*/

As you see I have some 'printf's which ARE RUNNING PROPERLY! I put the whole on /.../ an then each line in order to be sure...its still the same

Answer 1

Wild guess - you didn't recompile it.

Answer 2

Check if there is a space between the / and *.

Also check whether you might have nested comments.

Answer 3

What sort of environment are you running in?

Is it possible you edited the wrong file, or didn't save your edits, something like that?

Are you 100% sure you are compiling the code you edited? Have you checked the timestamp on the obj and exe files to make sure they are being rebuilt?

Answer 4

Your compiler will never compile comments. It will never compile anything which is not the language it is supposed to compile.
