# \$1comment
<a name="comment"></a>

The `$comment` operator in Amazon DocumentDB is used to attach a comment to a query. This can be useful for providing additional context or information about the query, which can be helpful for debugging or documenting purposes. The attached comment will appear as part of the output of operations like db.currentOp().

**Parameters**
+ `string`: The comment attached to the query.

## Example (MongoDB Shell)
<a name="comment-examples"></a>

The following example demonstrates how to use the `$comment` operator in Amazon DocumentDB.

**Create sample documents**

```
db.users.insertMany([
  { name: "John Doe", age: 30, email: "john.doe@example.com" },
  { name: "Jane Smith", age: 25, email: "jane.smith@example.com" },
  { name: "Bob Johnson", age: 35, email: "bob.johnson@example.com" }
]);
```

**Query example**

```
db.users.find({ age: { $gt: 25 } }, { _id: 0, name: 1, age: 1 }).comment("Retrieve users older than 25");
```

**Output**

```
{ "name" : "John Doe", "age" : 30 }
{ "name" : "Bob Johnson", "age" : 35 }
```
