Why do people put code in a comment?
Why doo people put code in a comment? I don't understand it. When I was watching steadyon's region 3 tutorial he put the code for making the part in a comment
Like sometimes I see source code for something and I see code in a comment
1 | --[[ |
2 | local p = Instance.new("Part",game.Workspace) |
3 | --]] |
4 | game:GetService("Debris"):AddItem(p,5) |

So that people who choose not to watch the whole video can just copy and paste the code. Sorukan 240 — 6y

Making lines of code comments is used to disable a specific piece of code in order to:
- Single out which part of code is causing an issue.
- Test what would happen if a certain part of code did not run.
- Keep the code in case it is needed in future, despite not having a current use.
- Et cetera.
This is known as commenting out code.
