To Whom It May Concern:
I am a total newbie for coding, but since I am managing a few WordPress websites and compelled to edited some WordPress core files from time to time, so I am here to ask for help for my question as titiled. For example, a programmer can do /Lorum Ipsum/ in CSS editing for human readable memo, so, how can one do this in WordPrsss core file editing? Such as function.php? Thank you for your attention.
Regards,
Ben
Reading the top of the included function.php file gives you the answer:
/**
* Main WordPress API
*
* @package WordPress
*/
require( ABSPATH . WPINC . '/option.php' );
/**
* Convert given date string into a different format.
*
* $format should be either a PHP date format string, e.g. 'U' for a Unix
* timestamp, or 'G' for a Unix timestamp assuming that $date is GMT.
*
* If $translate is true then the given date and format string will
* be passed to date_i18n() for translation.
*
* @since 0.71
*
* @param string $format Format of the date to return.
* @param string $date Date string to convert.
* @param bool $translate Whether the return date should be translated. Default true.
* @return string|int|bool Formatted date string or Unix timestamp. False if $date is empty.

Are you kidding ? comment in files which will be override in each updates ? and i think with myself why newbie need comment in complex codes.
but for your answer you could possible do it for php codes with forward slashes before your codes example :
// $patt = array ( '0' => 'x', '1' => '*' );
CSS:
/*----------------------------------*/
Html:
<!--<tags> </tags>--->
also with most of editor you can utilize ctrl + / for commenting purpose.
