Create comments in Ruby, using the # symbol.

# When you use # on a line, everything you place after the # will be ignored by Ruby, although you can read it.
puts "Hello from Ruby." #Display the text!



Make sure trailing comments are far enough from the code

@counter            # keeps track times page has been hit
@siteCounter        # keeps track of times all pages have been hit



Some valid examples of commenting in Ruby:

puts "2+2 = #{2+2}" # Adds 2+2 to make 4
# A comment on a line by itself



This block comment conceals several lines from the interpreter with =begin/=end:

=begin
This is a comment.
This is a comment, too.
This is a comment, too.
I said that already.
=end



What are Comments

A comment hides lines from the Ruby interpreter so that the lines are discarded or ignored. 
You can make a comment run over several lines, like this:
# This is a comment.
# This is a comment, too.
# This is a comment, too.
# I said that already.
