octave: Single Line Comments

 
 2.7.1 Single Line Comments
 --------------------------
 
 In the Octave language, a comment starts with either the sharp sign
 character, ‘#’, or the percent symbol ‘%’ and continues to the end of
 the line.  Any text following the sharp sign or percent symbol is
 ignored by the Octave interpreter and not executed.  The following
 example shows whole line and partial line comments.
 
      function countdown
        # Count down for main rocket engines
        disp (3);
        disp (2);
        disp (1);
        disp ("Blast Off!");  # Rocket leaves pad
      endfunction
