Upon writing my code I accidentally did this while commenting out the code: //(*pointer)=4 which effectively commented out the code as this would /**
I am aware of the other 2 types of comments, but this one is a new discovery. I tried closing it like so: *)// but is didn't work. Additionally, the code compiles while it is commented out like that, meaning it ignores that it is a comment block. I found this weird and interesting, can somebody tell me more about it?
