2.7 Comments in Octave Programs
===============================

A “comment” is some text that is included in a program for the sake of
human readers, and which is NOT an executable part of the program.
Comments can explain what the program does, and how it works.  Nearly
all programming languages have provisions for comments, because programs
are typically hard to understand without them.
