How to do group commenting without commenting each line in Matlab?

Question

How can I comment a group of lines without commenting each line?

ie like 'c'

/*
printf("hello");
printf("there");
*/

in Matlab the only way I know to do this is to comment each line

%disp('hello')
%disp('there')

I have a 100 lines to comment out, I would prefer to group comment it like 'c'.

thx
