Now, we all know that // makes a comment. But I have a question about the compiling of the program? Say you were to make a comment with a whole bunch of underscores to signify a different section of code. Does the amount of comments written in the source code increase the size of the final executed file or make the program any slower, even by a microsecond? Or does C++ just skip right over the comments or automatically delete them while compiling? Thanks in advance =)
