Each comment section on a line needs to start with the % character.

The C/C++ style of commenting with // does not work with MATLAB. Use the % character.

E.g.,

% This program calculates the amount of pasta to cook, given the number of people eating.
% Author: Ettore Boyardee
numPeople = 2;    % numPeople: Number of people that will be eating
totalOuncesPasta = numPeople * 3;    % Calculate and print total ounces of pasta
                                     % Typical: 3 ounces per person %

Octave permits // comments. If you are using Octave then this is not the proper support resource: the behaviour of Octave is not always the same as MATLAB.
