A comment begins with the symbol /* and ends with the symbol */.
Comments may contain any number of characters and are always treated as
white space.  Comments may be nested and may span several lines.

In addition, text starting with // or -- up to the end of a line is
also considered comment.

Example

// This is a line comment 
Print 1+1; -- a command followed by a comment
