## Function Documentation

## ◆ cstyle()

void cstyle | ( | int | theory | ) |

A brief history of JavaDoc-style (C-style) comments.

This is the typical JavaDoc-style C-style comment. It starts with two asterisks.

Parameters

  theory | Even if there is only one possible unified theory. it is just a set of rules and equations.

## ◆ doxygenBanner()

void doxygenBanner | ( | int | theory | ) |

A brief history of Doxygen-style banner comments.

This is a Doxygen-style C-style "banner" comment. It starts with a "normal" comment and is then converted to a "special" comment block near the end of the first line. It is written this way to be more "visible" to developers who are reading the source code. This style of commenting behaves poorly with clang-format.

Parameters

  theory | Even if there is only one possible unified theory. it is just a set of rules and equations.

## ◆ javadocBanner()

void javadocBanner | ( | int | theory | ) |

A brief history of JavaDoc-style (C-style) banner comments.

This is the typical JavaDoc-style C-style "banner" comment. It starts with a forward slash followed by some number, n, of asterisks, where n > 2. It's written this way to be more "visible" to developers who are reading the source code.

Often, developers are unaware that this is not (by default) a valid Doxygen comment block!

However, as long as JAVADOC_BLOCK = YES is added to the Doxyfile, it will work as expected.

This style of commenting behaves well with clang-format.

Parameters

  theory | Even if there is only one possible unified theory. it is just a set of rules and equations.
