Is possible to write comment in the same line as the code?

[John Williamss]

In most programming languages, this is possible. For example, in Python, I would write

x=1 #x is a good variable

And anything after # in that line is commented out, and anything before is executed. Is such a thing possible in Stata using * or an alternative?

[Hemanshu Kumar]

gen x = 1 // x is a good variable

Thank you so much! I've been doing it wrong for YEARS!
