You can also comment our parts of code which you have to fix, prior to compiling the program and testing current features. E.g int main() { ValentinHacker obj; // obj.test_func(2) cout << "Cookies"; return 0; }

documentation, explanation, separation of the code they're also used for debugging

Once you write a program and come back to it after few days, it will be a stranger to you. To reduce that delay in understanding what the program statements do, you need comments.

since I'm a student I always write comments for myself, I mark places where the code is off and mistakes happen, I write explanations and also it's amazing for debugging, just commenting out parts of the code to see what works and what doesn't

Organizing your code and pointing out what some functions do if what happens when the code in a section is executed. I use comments all the time no matter what language.
