"Tags in a docblock start with which character?" This question was asked in the quiz, and my answer is asterisk (), but it says that may answer is wrong. So i reviewed the video, but the video clearly says that in docblock it starts with the character asterisk (). Can someone explain this?

Tags allow you to specify various things like the author of an element, and other meta information like what parameters a function takes and what it returns. Tags start with the @ symbol. You can read more about them here.
