Reference: About Comments in the Code

When you create a procedure with graphical tools, the type of component and the information contained in it are previewed below the -* icon. The characters -* are required to identify text as a comment.

By default, comments contain the name of the procedure. This comment is not necessary for your application, and if you wish, you can delete it. You can also choose to type additional comments. For example, you may want to introduce each new line with the comment characters -*, or you may want to insert comments to describe different sections of code.
