Time for action – adding comments

Visual Studio also provides a handy auto-generated commenting feature; type in three backslashes on the line preceding any line of code (variables, methods, classes, and more) and a summary comment block will appear. Open up LearningCurve and add in three backslashes above the ComputeAge() method:

You should see a three-line comment with a description of the method generated by Visual Studio from the method's name, sandwiched between two <summary> tags. You can, of course, change the text, or add new lines by hitting Enter just as you would in a text document; just make sure not to touch the tags.

The useful part about these detailed comments is clear when you want to know something about a method you've written. If you've used a triple forward-slash comment, all you need to do is hover over the method name anywhere it's called and Visual Studio will pop your summary:

We still need to understand how everything we've learned in this chapter applies in the Unity game engine, which is what we'll be focusing on in the next section!
