Structure of a LISP program - Comments
Comments are for Wimps that can’t read code! Wrong attitude!
Use them – they really do help – others and yourself
- Comments help you when you have to go back to update your program 5 years from now
- Helps you organize your thoughts as you check your code
- Commenting closing parenthesis can help you catch malformed list errors
- Help you when you are trying to work on someone else’s program (if they commented their code)
- Each comment is one less question you will have to answer if someone is trying to read your code
