comments in code

[Sedai]

I know it sounds like a dumb question, but do comments
// or /* ... */ contribute to the size of the code in some way. I would think that the compiler just ignores them and does not translate them.
So if I have two files with exactly the same code, but one is 50K and the other 100K due to comments, the resulting executable should be exactly the same size?
well, i can actually always try it.

thanks.

You're right, the compiler will ignore any comments and white space.
