Uhh just use comments to explain what a specific block of code does, instead of typing a comment every 2 lines saying – //this does that.

Ok. wait…I don’t get how I am supposed to use comments to not explain what something does but also make it clear what something does. I feel like I was told to do one thing and then told to do the opposite.

A bad statement comment explains what the code is doing, you claim.

That is true in many cases, but sometimes it can be very helpful to explain what code is doing.

For example, when I learned PHP I had a hard time remembering the meaning of % (modulus) and added the explanation remainder of division every time I used modulus for a while until I know the explanation by heart.

I think the best approach is to simply add all comments you find helpful.

what he means is that you add the “//” to the beginning of a line of code in order to turn it into a comment. This causes the compiler to ignore that line of code.
