@param?

Post by jfmike »

Hello everyone. This isn't really a coding question, but lately as I've been getting more and more into OOP, I've been noticing a lot of @param's in the comment section. Is this just there to let the coder know that it's a parameter? Or the does the @ have a special meaning behind it? I've been searching around and haven't been able to find anything, probably because the @ symbol doesn't register with most searches :).
