if you had to answer:

Java is different from other languages like C and C++ because it does not create machine and operating system specific code. Instead it creates _____________ that can be run on many platforms

what would you say ?

well iv said its java bytecode, wrong answer apparently :s, hence why im asking on here, it also asked:

A one line comment in Java is signified by the characters ____

im 99.999999999% certain the answer is : //

if not that, /*, both incorrect answers apparently ?? im sure its // for the above question

done the basics yeah, comments in code iv done are //, and it works, compiles etc, so im not getting why // is the wrong answer, iv written it 'slash slash' the problem is its a 'online test' not a human marker so iv got to put the answer in that the pc database has, is //, slash slash, what ever the answer to 'A one line comment in Java is signified by the characters ____ ' though ? just yes or no would be great as then I know that the database is going wrong or not, as im very sure its //, if its not just say 'no' then ill go off and find the right answer, if it is, just say 'yes' so I dont pull my hair out,lol

edit: iv also written in /* and 'slash star' also wrong answers !! I know a ruddy comment is // or /* , specifically // is a one line comment /* is a 'traditional' comment that needs to be ended */

Am I right or wrong here? yes or no ! lol

If you ask me the online test database is erroring, im so certain im right on this question

EDIT: RIIIGGHTT ok fine the lec just emailed me saying the database is wrong, haha i was right then !
