Comment out the two lines of code below using JavaScript's multi-line commenting syntax:

(JavaScript Basics Course)

I've tried every answer on this quiz that asks to fill the blank _________________ /*/ or // and even / typing the two line comment presented in the quiz between signs did mot work*/

Thanks for your help.

Thank you so much Rafael. I never realized that the second _________________ blank at the bottom was there the whole time, as it was not highlighted at the same time as the top one. This silly thing got me stuck for nothing. Thank you!

I just took the quiz. The answer is one of the answers in another question. look for the question that asks what two types of ways to comment out text in JS.

I would love to know how you got the answer to pass: I just typed:

/* this is a comment*/

Which is one of the answers in the other question: What two types of ways to comment out text in JS.

It didn't work.

I got the answer to pass because I looked at the question:

Which of the following is a valid comment in JavaScript?

this gave 4 possible answers one of which is the correct answer, answers B and D. here is where the answer to this question is answered in the quiz.
