Whats the point of a comment while coding?

It helps in documenting what a particular block of code is doing. This is very useful especially if your code is read by other people who are not familiar with your code and its logic.

One time I started going over one of my own codes after leaving it in limbo. I got confused and ended up rewriting the code from scratch! This is where comments could have saved me the pain and the suffering of rewriting the whole thing. 😂

To understand your code even two years after writing it.

Absolutely. When rewriting from scratch is quicker than improving on what's there, something must have gone wrong.

I definitely experienced that here on Sololearn, looking at one of my own, older codes, thinking: 'What?'
