A nested comment is a comment (multi-line or single-line) within a multi-line comment. Java supports nested single line comments. Example: /* multi-line comment comment comment comment comment // single-line comment comment comment comment */ but NOT nested multi-line comments Example: /* multi-line comment comment comment comment comment /* multi-line comment multi- line comment multi-line*/ comment comment comment */

although pointless, you can nest a comment within a comment like /** / outter comment /// inline comment ///////////////////// // nested comnent/// ///////////////////// */

A comment with in a multiline comment is called nested multiline comment...Java supports to nest a single line comment with in a multiline comment but does not support a multiline comment with in a multiline comment

i think it was the multi-line comment inside the multi line comment. you can nested single line inside the multi-line comment.
