How to comment in Squeak Smalltalk?

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:
