Hi all! I would like to know if comments in the code affects the performance. I know that comments are ignored by the interpreter, but it does increase the file size, so I was thinking about a possible performance hit for highly commented files. Can anyone confirm this? Thanks! Rodolfo Andrade
Im not quietly sure how the parser works but i think it stops reading a line for example when the // or # are detected how its about /* and */ im not quitly sure. but i think this commenting will affect the parser in some way. And yes i also think commenting affects the parser. Not much though but well it does. Barry
