# <= this hash sign. Hash signs are used to start comments.
# Anything that starts with a hash will be instructions or descriptions.
# Different programming languages/environments will use different 
# characters to start comments.
# Bash (what your shell uses, happens to use the hash mark)

# comments run from the hash mark to the end of the line.
# So, one can issue a command, and add a comment after it like so:

ls # this is a command we will explain below
