Answer:

Header Comments

Explanation:

• Comments are the small descriptions of the code which make the logic or functions easier to understand for the programmer or user.
• They are optional but can help in a variety of ways.
• They are written in simple easy language by using forward slashes (//) in front of the code.
• Comments can be single-lined as well as multi-lined.
• Header comments are given on the top of the program to identify what is actually in the program.
• A good header comment should illustrate the program purpose and should also have following points in it:

4. List of modifications (if any)
