## 3.3 Documentation Comments

AVAP™ also supports documentation comments, which are used to automatically generate documentation from the source code. These comments begin with `///` and are used to describe the functionality of classes, methods, variables, and other elements of the source code.

```javascript
/// This function adds two integers and returns the result.
/// \param a The first integer.
/// \param b The second integer.
/// \return The sum of the two numbers.
function sum( a, b) {
    return(a + b)
} 
```

Documentation comments are essential for maintaining up-to-date and detailed documentation of the code, which facilitates its understanding and use by other developers.
