document.write("Hey I know javascript!");
// this text will not be displayed on the web browser

Single-line comments are designated by 2 forward slashes (//). Any text on a line following the 2 forward slashes will not be displayed in a web browser.
Multiple-line comments start with a forward slash followed by an asterisk (/*) and end with an asterisk followed by a forward slash (*/). Any text that is within /* and */ will not be displayed on a web browser.
The code above creates the text below.
