2.7.1 Single Line Comments
--------------------------

In the Octave language, a comment starts with either the sharp sign
character, ‘#’, or the percent symbol ‘%’ and continues to the end of
the line.  Any text following the sharp sign or percent symbol is
ignored by the Octave interpreter and not executed.  The following
example shows whole line and partial line comments.

     function countdown
       # Count down for main rocket engines
       disp (3);
       disp (2);
       disp (1);
       disp ("Blast Off!");  # Rocket leaves pad
     endfunction
