Solution 1

No, not really.

The best you can do is minimise them. This reduces as much of the white space as possible and makes them quite difficult to read.

You cannot hide the code but you can OBFUSCATE the code,
which will make it very difficult for a human to read.

[Warning: A dedicated and skilled programmer can still decode the OBFUSCATED code,
but it is an extremely tedious task and is generally avoided by all.]

Here are some link to pages that can obfuscate your code.
For best results use a combination of them.
