How to put comments on Batch File, VBA, Java, PowerShell and Python

Comment on any programming language is extremely helpful.
It will ease the debugging process.
And it will make the code or the function easy to read or remember on what the piece of code or function is doing.
If the program runs for years and a new OS is release and the program runs into compatibility issues.
And the next programmer who comes along and who knows it will be you again.
If the program has comments then it will be easy to read the source code.
