Comments

-- Hello, this is a comment!

Comments are additional text that can be used to explain what a piece of code does. They're ignored by the computer. To create a comment, just put -- and followed by any text you want.

print("Hello world!") -- This should print "Hello world!"

💡

Within most code editors, including Roblox Studio, you can select any text you want and press CTRL + / in order to comment the entire selection of text.

Multi-line comments

You can also create comments which span multiple lines.

Such comment starts with --[[ and ends with ]], you can also start it with --[=[ and end it with ]=]. The start and end must match however, so --[[ Hello! ]=] would not work.

--[[ Hello
  this is
  a multi-line
comment ]]
 
--[=[
  This is also a multi-line comment.
]=]
