Typical code comment

This is why I hate comments 😂

//comment
//This was a comment ^

Print("Hello World");
//Prints Hello World

And like most comments it's a wrong description of what the thing actually is. That is not a floor.

@JavaSlave it is a wet flat surface of a room that you walk... thus is it is a wet floor lol

@jonjo it's not a flat surface and unless you're Jesus I doubt you can walk on water. So it's not a floor even if it looks like one.

I like comments. You can use them like headers. Sure, if you look at the code for a while you'll figure it out, but "headers" make it easier and quicker.

The concept with headers have worked quite nicely for other forms of text for thousands of years so I see no reason to not utilize it for code.

Sure, there are exceptions. For instance if you're writing code for a legacy system and need to save disk space you might want to exclude those superfluous bytes.

@JavaSlave are you saying there is no floor to the pool?

// Starts remote computer
void StartRemoteComputer() {...}

So, the StartRemoteComputer function actually starts a remote computer. Wow. Who could have guessed?

299. One more for a stress ball!

You're welcome.

@cftw @ryanmhoffman thanks xD

@gloslistan I use comments in the same way - as headers for quick reference. I'm torn though... I like comments as long as they're to-the-point, but I also know people who abhor them. At work, they're a must, considering I'm not the only one working on the project (and our lead is remote), but in my personal projects, I keep them a little bit less verbose.

You, Sir, made my day 😂

Great value of information.
