In Squeak programming , "comment " is very needed in order to make the source code easier for humans to understand and maintain.
However, I find "//" and /* */ to be not working.
What can I do in order to comment in Squeak programming ?

Comment is enclosed in double quotes, e.g.
" .... this is my comment "
Most methods have a comment.
In addition many classes have a 'examples' category on the class side where you put some example code which show how the class is to be used.

This is C/C++ syntax. Won't work in Smalltalk. Smalltalk is much more compact than C/C++. You may find the following helpful in getting to know Smalltalk:
