Is it possible that my comment is making the error in code?

Are comments seperate entities form the rest?

Comments shouldn't cause errors if done correctly. Filip could you post your code so someone can take a look at it?

It seems unlikely, since comments are normally totally ignored by the language engine.

However, if this is for one of the course challenges, it's possible that comments could confuse the mechanism that checks your work. For that reason, you might try removing them and running Check Work again.
