Javadoc comments are special comments in Java that begin with /** and end with */. They are used to generate documentation for classes, methods, and fields, making it easier for other developers (including yourself) to understand how to use them.
API Documentation: API documentation provides information about how to use specific software libraries or frameworks. It includes details about classes, methods, parameters, and return values.
Code Documentation: Code documentation refers to any form of written explanation or commentary within source code files that helps developers understand the purpose and functionality of the code.
Commenting Style Guide: A commenting style guide is a set of guidelines or rules that dictate how comments should be written in a particular programming language or project. It ensures consistency and readability across the codebase.
