### Description

A sequence of two consecutives slashes `//` out of a string definition marks the beginning of a comment. The slashes as well as all the following characters up to the end of the lines are not interpreted.

Inside a function, the first comment lines, up to the first instruction or an empty line may be used to provide the default contents for the function help.

### Examples

    g=9.81// the gravity

    text='a//b'

    function y=myfunction(x)
    // myfunction computes y=x^2+1
    // x shoud be a vector or matrix
      y=x^2+1
    endfunction

    help myfunction
