Answer 4

To give an example to previous comments about readability;

Say you where to work on some code and send it off for publication. That code could work for a year or two before you get asked to update it to add a new page or fix a new found error. Either you or whoever the code is sent to then has to figure out what the code does. The comments will cut out hours of sorting out the code and errors can be found much faster.

Hope this helped.
