Sorry, I never have and never will see any value in comments within a program. If it's really that important, put it in a text file and give it to the people who can't figure it out on their own. I'd personally much rather discover how everything about something works than have someone tell me.

You have no idea what is going on, do you?

And that's the very reason why you'll never do anything more complex than a chatter bot

Because he doesn't use comments? I don't either.
I'm sorry, I thought making a chatter bot acually required a bit more work then you thought. Especially considering you have to learn the entire BNCS protocol, find a way to pass the logon (especially since bnet's version verification has changed), and sending/parsing/implementing just about 150+ packets while doing all this using Windows Socket APIs.

[Banana fanna fo fanna]

creating a chatterbot without bnls is tough; with bnls it's rather trivial. someday you will learn this the hard way.

[Barabajagal]

What if you make your own logon server?

bnetdocs, winsock control (assuming VB use), BNLS/BNCSUtil. all you need to know is how to use them.

Are you seriously saying you don't see the point in comments?

So you know every algorithm for every possible programming situation? You need to comment things like that.

What if you havn't touched that peice of code in years? (As is common in complex programming projects) What then? I guess you'll be in for a long night of guess work if you have no comments.

I now hold you in the same position I hold brew in when it comes to programming (Not good).
I think you seriously rethink your position.

Anyone who agrees with Reality is wrong and a horrible programmer. End of story.

Try write local hashing with out using a library that someone else wrote ie; bncsutil.dll ect.. then you can say writting a bot is some work.

I don't really give a shit what you think of my abilities. I know what I'm capable of, and I know my own memory well enough to know I can remember programs I wrote when I was 8 on a C128 in BASIC 7.2.

That's cool, no one cares what you did with a shitty language at 8 years old. You say it every other post, it's impressive for an 8 year old ok. There you happy?

That still doesn't change the fact that you lack an understanding of something as fundemental to programming as commenting code.

[tumeria]

Obviously fancies himself to be a good programmer, and even got some expensive pieces of paper with type on it reaffirming it.


Really too bad you won't get anywhere by having memorised the Interface Coding Standards for Visual Basic 6

[Barabajagal]

It's not fundamental, it's a waste of storage space. And those interface standards are for any program you make in any language for any system. If you don't follow them, you'll confuse your users.

i comment, it helps me remember
