Question

You have not written programs in any programming language before. How difficult do you think writing programs will be compared to other new skills that you have mastered? Most programming texts encourage students to use many comments in their programs. Some students feel that writing program comments is a waste of time. What is your opinion? Why? Are there circumstances under which you would take the opposite stance?

Answer 1

It depends on in which area you have mastered skill and as per my point of view If you have a good logic skill then programming is not much difficult and you just have to learn the syntaxes of that language and some basic concept. Its not that much difficult task. There are so many things you just have to explore that and you will learn new things everyday.

As per my opinion writing comments is not a waste of time because They are added with the purpose of making the source code easier for humans to understand and easily readable if anyone can see the code they will easily understand what it mean.

No generally there are not any circumstances under which i take opposite stance but sometime i do avoiding comments if it is not necessary. and sometimes when the program is too long because Writing and then maintaining comments is an expense.
