    Found this description on a function called "Periodic" yesterday. "This function is periodic, it runs periodically. This function will be executed every period" :-D

      That's exactly what we need - functions with PMT! :laugh:

        A comment like that would make you wonder if it actually was executed every period... Or was the commenter just trying to egg it on...

              Almost as good as: "Now frig about with the data until we get the right answer" :)

                Indeed!!! That's what I call a good comment :-\ It's almost as good as saying "this function will run each time it gets called"!! :)

                Just an irritated, ranting son of ... an IT guy. At your trolling services

                  Reminds me of answers to an exam...after the 5th consecutive answer being the same the voice in my head will start to question if I am actually getting them right :/

                    maybe he put that comment there so that when he become senile later on his life and stumble across to that code, he will remember everything just glancing on that pretty witty comment :D
