| Mar 14, 2014 at 9:57 | comment | added | Robbie Dee | N.B. for this style of comment the middle asterisks aren't required. I'd imagine they're just there to aid readability for the case where the IDE (or editor) doesn't have coloured syntax highlighting. | |
| Mar 14, 2014 at 9:27 | comment | added | Keagan Ladds | I guess it also aids readability because you can clearly see its a multiline comment. | |
