it's not necessary for the compiler because it will be ignored , however it's really necessary to a developer bcause it helps to understand. not to be confused. and also if several persons are working on a program its important to helps other persons to understand what u are willing to do. :)

Well documented code helps you to understand what you're thinking later. It's also vital for others. . Can be used for notes of all kinds & communication on style / efficiency .. etc . A recent interview with Linus Torvalds gives an explicit example or two on how important they are; especially when moving to larger projects. (apologies, no link - search TED Talks) . Best to be in good form of habits.

comments are only to make the code identification for others what it really contains.....and it is not compiled....

no, but adding comments will make you easier to identify what things each part of code does
