# ChardScript Comments

Comments can be used to explain ChardScript code, make the code more readable and prevent execution when testing code.

### Creating a Comment

Comments starts with a <mark style="color:red;">`#`</mark>, and ChardScript will ignore them:

**Example**

{% code lineNumbers="true" %}

```renpy
# This is a comment
echo("Hello World!")
```

{% endcode %}

Comments can be placed at the end of a line, and ChardScript will ignore the rest of the line:

**Example**

{% code lineNumbers="true" %}

```renpy
echo("Hello World!") # This is a comment
```

{% endcode %}

A comment does not have to be text that explains the code, it can also be used to prevent ChardScript from executing code:

**Example**

{% code lineNumbers="true" %}

```renpy
# echo("Hello World!")
echo("Comment will not work!")
```

{% endcode %}

### Multi Line Comments

ChardScript does not really have a syntax for multi line comments.

To add a multiline comment you could insert a <mark style="color:red;">`#`</mark> for each line:

**Example**

{% code lineNumbers="true" %}

```renpy
# This is a comment
# written in
# more than just one line
echo("Hello, World!")
```

{% endcode %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://gamingmod.gitbook.io/chardscript-docs/chardscript-tutorial/chardscript-comments.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
