Course of Raku / Essentials / Comments

Single-line comments

The simplest form of a comment is a one-line comment. It starts by the # character and goes until the end of the current line.

my $name; # This variable is used to keep user’s name
$name = prompt 'What is your name? ';
say $name; # We see the name now

Notice that a sheebang such as #!/usr/bin/env raku in the first line of code is also a comment for Raku, while it can be read and executed by the shell.
