Someone teach me how to use the // in C++ programming

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
cout<<"Hello World\n";
cin.get();

return 0;
}
Where do I put the "//" or "/*" "*/"

[Joe88]

they can be placed anywhere
doesnt matter, just dont try to put code after the comment on the line, before it fine

also you do not need the cin.get();

[zeferino]

by the way
what does the // do?
It doesn't appear

It's for comments, eg.

/* Test code
For testing purposes */

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
cout<<"Hello World\n"; //This is the code to display "Hello World"
cin.get();

return 0;
}

also you do not need the cin.get();

how come I don't need it?

all the program is doing is displaying a line

and the cin.get just delays (until enter is pushed) the press any key to continue

@zeferino: are you trying to learn by examples? Because I'm pretty sure most tutorials make that clear that that's a comment...

I lol'd and yeah, the examples must be pretty bad considering that everything I've looked at has told the basics including the comment at the very start...

I understand the // now
it's just a comment, nothing else. lol.
I thought it has something to do with the codes
