Is it really important to include comments in the code ?

Question

tell me what's your view about it . thanks :)

Answer 1

Writing comments is considered good practice. It helps others who view your code gain a better understanding of your code more quickly and also will help you be able to locate more quickly what parts of the code you need to make changes to!

Answer 3

write a program with at least a few hundred lines of code and don't comment it. open it again after half a year and try to understand what it does. it'll be really hard. and it's even harder for others who didn't know the code before.

Answer 4

if you are writing long code , comments can be very useful

Answer 5

its a good practice it helps understand the code

Answer 6

Writing comments helps others read the intent behind your code. Its especially a good practice to do comment as you program because its a pain to go back and fill every comment in later if you realise someone will read you code at some point.

Answer 7

You could even start by sketching your program by only using comments (no actual coding at first), and then progressively implementing each snippet. That could be an approach of top-down analysis: breaking down your problem into smaller pieces that are easier to solve.

Answer 8

I think comments very important to understand what's happened in code because every one how want to know what this code mean
