4.2 Comments with #

The pound character, `#', may be used to start comments, in addition to `%'. See the previous example. The major advantage of this is that as `#' is also a comment character for unix script files, any file that starts with a string like `#! /usr/bin/octave -q' will be treated as an octave script and be executed by octave.
