Often, in development or debugging, we need to toggle on/off a section of code or want to swap a few lines. | |
We often comment out those lines but here is a neat trick where we have the comment annotation around two | |
sections of code - in my case I want to test some code with a value of 100 or 200 but this could be a tw | |
large sections of code that I want to toggle or swap. | |
Add this to you editor and just delete the first / and watch as your editor disables the first assignment | |
and now enables the 2nd assignment. It's the little things at times that amaze you as I sit here | |
toggling on/off that first / to see my editor's reaction :) | |
