C++ Comments
(Note: I no longer have a C++ class, so I will now just be posting random things that I find funny.  I also no longer have high school.  Everything below the second double horizontal line is from C++; everything between it and the first pair of horizontal lines is from my senior year and is partially divided into sections.   Everything above that line is from this summer.  There is little doubt in my mind that soon a third set of horizontal lines will be added and collegiate quotes will go up.  But we're not there yet.)
