Hi 🙂

You can use a style guide, for example:

- [JavaScript Comments](http://www.w3schools.com/js/js_comments.asp)

- [https://google.github.io/styleguide/javascriptguide.xml?showone=Comments#Comments](https://google.github.io/styleguide/javascriptguide.xml?showone=Comments#Comments)

- [How to Write Doc Comments for the Javadoc Tool](http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/documentation/index-137868.html)

But be aware, this is a controversial topic :

Cheers and happy coding 🙂
