The most worthless comment ever
-
Not only worthless comments, but also funny, seen in the assembly code of DG AOS/VS (can anyone remember it?) In the code executed when one shut down the system: < some code > HALT HALT ;JUST IN CASE The HALT instruction stopped the CPU completely In the panic code - executed when there was an error which the OS couldn't handle: < some code > ; I don't know how you got here, but you're in deep s**t Jerry
If DG == Data General, I'm not surprised. I used a DG 'Nova 4' system one time, a very long time ago. Regarding the doubled
HALTinstruction, that's also not too surprising. Depending upon the interrupt architecture and when they increment the program counter, I could see a glitch between decoding theHALTinstruction and its execution causing the code to continue executing.Software Zen:

Your comments are not accurate. You are enumerating from 0 to 9!

At least it's accurate.

A fantastic example. Comments are for programmers, and presumably the programmers know how to form console output and for loops, making the comments fairly pointless. This code breaks two good coding rules.. 1) comments are about WHY, not WHAT.. WHY are we enumerating 100 times? 2) use of really cryptic variable names, such as 'i'. Yechh.

Glad that someone was able to get the depth of worthlessness of my comments! :laugh:

I'm not sure whether I should confess an inattention mistake, or boast a brilliant example of terrible comment!?

I personally don't find it necessary to worry that my editor is going to somehow 'fall off the end' of a file, and mark that end with a comment. That's like wearing a seat belt in your desk chair, because you're worried that the Earth's gravity might fail.

When was the last time you loaded a box of green-bar in a line printer?
