; issue with comments

[asdfcxz]

So my code was working absolutely fine until i added the comments which was required by the teacher for the assignment. Once i added the comments, i get an error for line 15 that i need to add a semicolon which makes no sense because it is just empty space between the end of the method and a comment

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

//the method swap1 uses a temporary variable to swap the variables by value/copy
//the parameters are the user inputted variables
//no return value
void swap1(double n1, double n2)
{
    double temp;
    temp = n1;
    n1 = n2;
    n2 = temp;
}

//the method swap2 uses a temporary variable to swap the variables by reference/alias
//the parameters are the user inputted variables
//no return value
void swap2(double & n1, double & n2)
{
    double temp;
    temp = n1;
    n1 = n2;
    n2 = temp;
}

//the main method asks the user to input 2 numbers, calls the swap functions, and prints the 2 swapped variables
//the parameters are the user inputted variables
//the return value is 0
int main()
{
    double n1, n2, temp;
    cout << "Enter first number:" << endl;
    cin >> n1;
    cout << "Enter second number:" << endl;
    cin >> n2;
    cout << endl;
    cout << "The first number: " << n1 << endl;
    cout << "The second number: " << n2 << endl;
    cout << "Calling method swap 1" << endl;
    swap1(n1, n2);
    cout << "The new first number: " << n1 << endl;
    cout << "The new second number: " << n2 << endl;
    cout << "Calling method swap 2" << endl;
    swap2(n1, n2);
    cout << "The new first number: " << n1 << endl;
    cout << "The new second number: " << n2 << endl;
    cout << "Bye" << endl;
    return 0;
}

Your code compiles fine on the latest GCC.
What compiler are you using?

[1vf9z8AR]

comments should be in one line in your compiler
else use /*comment*/

[asdfcxz]

@Ihatov i'm using codeblocks v12.1 i think

and @suyashsing234 all my comments are one line hahaha but i also used your method and got the same error

[1vf9z8AR]

your code works in my compiler which is codeblocks v16.01 and there is no need for 'temp' in main

[1vf9z8AR]

ensure that codeblocks is following c++11 and not c++98.I used to have very weird probelms while using 98
