#167587 - Properly documented code
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Per Westermark said:
You are wrong if you make it so simple as believing that variable names and function names will remove the need for comments.

If you want an example of well-commented code, take a look at Karas's Keypad Scanner Code In C

In particular, look at the block comment at the top of the listing that gives an overview of what the code does.

Similarly, block comments above each function give an overview of what the routine does; even though meaningful function names are used, those names alone are not sufficient!

Note also that each variable definition is accompanied by a descriptive comment; even though meaningful variable names are used, those names alone are not sufficient!
