How should I structure my code comments?

How should I structure my code comments?

It's important to keep your comments clear and concise. Start with a brief summary of what the code does, followed by details on complex logic or important decisions.

Should I comment every line of code?

No, avoid commenting every line. Focus on explaining the 'why' behind complex sections rather than the 'what' that is often clear from the code itself.

What are some best practices for writing comments?

Use consistent formatting, keep comments up-to-date with code changes, and avoid redundant comments that restate the code.

Can you give me an example of a good comment?

Sure! A good comment might look like this: "// Calculate the total price after applying discounts and taxes to ensure accurate billing."
