Subject: Kernel .config  and kconfig general question

Is it the same to comment out a variable in .config than assigning 'N' to it?

Also could somebody explain the big picture of how does the kernel
configuration/build process treats the commented out variables in
.config?

Or even more general:

Could anybody please help me in understanding the main picture of how a .config variable gets #define'd or #undefine'd in the kernel
header files?

Many thanks,

Max
