Code that looks for Comments

Help--C++ very weak--I have to write and test code that recognizes one form of the comments of the C++ language (those that begin with /* and end with */). Thanks.

Code:

---

if(code.find("//*"){
  cout<<"I can find comments";
}

---

Problem solved.

>Problem solved.
Better would be:

Code:

---

if(code.find("/*"){
  cout<<"I can find comments\n";
}

Code:

---

std::cout << "/* I don't think that solves the problem. */" << std::endl;

Sorry--here's more info-"C" version of it.

Code:

---


int getComment() {
  getChar();
  if (charClass != AST)
    return SLASH_CODE;
  else {
  do{
      getChar();
        while (charClass != AST)
            getChar();
    } while (charClass != SLASH);
    return COMMENT;
}

This was straight from the book--Thanks for helping

My bad so I can't type. Maybe I should make sure I can type better when I am being a jerk ;). And to be super technical neither of the answers work it needs to be:

Code:

---

#include <iostream>
#include <string>

int main()
{
        std::string code = "int main(){ /*Comment*/ int val = 10; return 0;} ";

        if(code.find("/*") != std::string::npos){
                std::cout<<"I can find comments";
        }//if

        //Wait for user input
        std::cin.get();

        return 0;       
}
