Sometimes the solution may not be so apparent leading to incorrect decisions.

But any reason why you don't use the free Visual Studio Express Edition instead of paying for an expensive IDE. Just curious...

But is not the first time I try to go back to something I have done and I don't have an idea why I did it in that way, or it doesn't make sense, especially when I am experimenting with an idea and I leave it half way.

No one denies that writing comments for some things which don't make sense to you is a good thing but writing comments for eveything is an overkill and not good. You end up confusing yourself as well as your colleague programmer. Since you are beginning programming you might be tempted to write comments but as time goes on you will automatically realize when comments should come and when they shouldn't. An time you feel like seeing how professional commenting is done, just pick up a open source applications' code or Java's source code and you would know how its done.

Maybe the good thing about it is that if a beginner with the same question finds this piece of code, for sure it would know what is going on. I hope :-|

Ever considered writing tutorials... ;)

The comments in your code might have looked good if they had been pulled out of the code and used to describe the code like the tutorials that is if you really want to help someone or feel that you might forget some things.

Its a pity that Raye didn't do a postmortem of your code to show you that how commenting …

Nope girly, we don't.... ;)

A better form, maybe, but it's refreshing to see commented code. The more comments the better -- as long as they are descriptive & to the point and not just rambling thoughts.

Help understanding what and to whom ? If learning I can understand, but in professional setting this kind of code is generally frowned upon. Yet to see a company using *this* kind of coding. Its like "yes our team is creating the next big thing" and "oh btw don't forget to document what strchr is supposed to be doing there"....

But again, if not working for any organization, its a matter of style.

And his comments help understanding, they aren't extraneous.

Wow, take a look at these (don't take this as criticism Aia)

puts(answer);  /* display the answer for test purpose */    
    getchar();  /* pause the program until a character is entered */

Not extraneous you say....

Unless you have a system to actually read the code for the documentation, it's not necessary. In all my years in programming I've only used one once. Personally, I feel it's unnecessary unless your job requires it. Without the generator it's a waste of time.

Again depends on whether you work for an organization, or like to keep it organized. But still is better since you get an upper hand of the automatic documentation being generated for you for a bit of extra effort...

Maybe this would interest you...

I'm 64 -- born 1943. Contrary to popular belief, age does not make one wiser -- just makes one older.

I guess that would be older + wiser.... :mrgreen:

@Aia

You really need to cut down the commenting a bit -- its overwhelming.

With practice you will surely come to know when the documentation is getting out of hand -- your code is almost 50 % documentation and that too sprinkled throughout the code which makes it difficult to read the code.

Also it would be better if you would write documentation in a format which could be used for auto generating documentation for the entire project. Read this.

Hello there girly, welcome to Daniweb.. :D

Everday its the same old song, the same old suckiness, the same old pain..

Yes, keeping a relative time scale really helps...Good one.

I guess this is what I get for jumping at conclusions.

Btw the currently revamped system (toggle between plain text adopted from devshed) is good. Now its the RPG's turn....

Everyone has a different title, so you might be interested in knowing all the titles Daniweb comes up with when you reach a 100 points milestone.... ;)

The new line numbers inserted when using syntax coloring code tags is causing me problems when copying and pasting code.

Click on the link "toggle plain text" which appears below the code snippet and then try copy-pasting. It works out to be fine.

Welcome to Daniweb my friend :D

You will find a lot of people of your age here....;)

Heh, no problem my friend, it feels good to help out someone who is ready to learn new things and put in everything they have got.

Such a nice thing to say, reps to you. Btw, how does it feel to read "Aia is on a distinguished road" on your rep dots.... ;)

please the girls.

> Is the gray coloring scheme a test run and you are going to turn everything in gray or is it going to remain the way it is now ?
It's half and half right now largely because I'm being indecisive and, while I like the grey better, just can't get myself to leave the yellow for good.

It's not complete yet, but I'm trying to do a test where primary focus elements are in yellow and secondary focus elements (or secondary level hierarchy elements) are in grey.

For example, here in this thread, the actual thread is surrounded by yellow bars. The similar threads, which is secondary info, is in grey.

Or in our Web Dev category ...

You'll notice top level forums (PHP, etc) are in yellow. Second level forums (ie that are subforums within Databases or Web Design) are in grey.

I know it's completely pushing it (and it's largely due to once again me being indecisive between which I like better) the listing of forum threads within a forum are grey because they're within a forum, but the listing of forum threads when you do a search are yellow because they don't have any type of parent element.

I'm a crazy gal :)

Its a relief that the current coloring scheme is not the finalized one. I don't mind whatever colors you use, just be consistent and we people are a happy lot. Hoping to see the final site design / …

Hello.

I think a major part of it is that it's just human nature to focus on all the bad things and take all the good things for granted.

...or to bug someone so that there *are* less (no?) bad things. Depends on how you look at things.

Frankly speaking the coloring scheme looks inconsistent. Some pages still have that orange shade as the background of div boxes while some pages host the new gray scheme. For eg. who's online page still has light orange background for alternate post entry. Is the gray coloring scheme a test run and you are going to turn everything in gray or is it going to remain the way it is now ?

Pardon me if I have focussed "on all the bad things and take all the good things for granted".
