I don't understand the "/*"?
public class Test5 {
public static void main (String args [])
{ /* This is the start of a comment
if (true) {
System.out.println("Done the test");
Test5 = new test5();
}
/* This is another comment */
System.out.println ("The end");
}
}

remember /* can only be ended by */
any // or /* in between does not count.
So all the lines from
/* This is the start of a comment
to
This is another comment */
are comments. Only the last print statement is executed.
Run the program will confirm this.
C:\JavaRanch>javac Test5.java
C:\JavaRanch>java Test5
The end
