Playing with C style comments

comments_fun.js

// Playing with C style comments and nested comments (you can AND and OR comments)
// (c) F. Munafò - Call them Munafò's comments? :)

// I kow this in not good practice. Yes, yes. It is just for fun.




//////////////// A Sample ////////////////





/* put a SPACE (after *) to switch to MODE 2 =>*/

	alert("Mode 1");
	
/*/

	alert("Mode 2");
	
/*/

// put a SPACE (after *) FOR SWITCHING TO MODE 2.2 (if in mode 2) => /*/

	// this is executed only switch 1 is off OR switch 2 is on
	alert("Mode 1 or mode 2.1");

/*/

	// this is executed only if both switches are on (both spaces inserted)
	alert("Mode 2.2 only");

//*/









//////////////// The Fundamental Elements ////////////////





// : : : The Switch - opens a "switchable" comment  : : : //


// Off:
/**/

// On:
/** /

// May have comments:
/* add space after * to comment=> */






// : : : The Inverter - inverts the comment status  : : : //
// (if put inside a comment, the following text is not commented and vice versa)


/*/

// If the comment is open it works like */ otherwise it works like /*






// : : : The Closer - closes a comment if open (and gives no error otherwise)  : : : //


//*/

// If the comment is open it works like */ otherwise it is just ignored









//////////////// Advanced Elements ////////////////






// : : : Secondary inverted switch - OMG!  : : : //


// Off: (the // is part of it)
// /*/

// On: (the // is part of it)
// /* /


// May have comments inserted:
// add space after * to uncomment=> /*/




// This is a bit complicated

// If no comment is open, it does nothing (subsequent code is executed)
// If a comment is open, it behaves like an inverted switch:

// If OFF it behaves like */ closing it
// If ON it does nothing leaving the comment open



// It can be coupled with an inverter to obtain a




// : : : Secondary straight switch - OMG!  : : : //
// subsequent code is executed only if it is ON AND comment was open already
// thus ANDING comment states


// Off: (the // is part of it)
// /*/
/*/


// On: (the // is part of it)
// /* /
/*/



// May have comments inserted:
// add space after * to comment=> /*/
/*/










//////////////// Another Sample ////////////////





/* put a SPACE (after *) to switch to LOCAL =>*/

	alert("Remote");
	
/*/

	alert("Local");
	
/*/

// put a SPACE (after *) FOR SWITCHING LOCAL TO DISK 2 => /*/

	alert("Remote or disk 1");

/*/

	// this is executed only if both switches are on (both spaces inserted)
	alert("Local disk 2");
