>Does that mean you have 5 years of experience now? If >you could write code as complicated No and lets not turn this into some kind of flame war im 22, still in school maj oring in electronics engineering tech. I have majored in software engineering bu t changed my major after 2yrs. The point is as i have been saying for the past 5 emails is that everyone compla inig about comments..and i say it depends on the situation. I dont know how thi s turned into a whole..abuse mike.. scenario. Again i will say it, you writing your code that is so complicated etc. you putting comments is up to you unless y ou are working with a team because then no one will have any idea what you are d oing unless they sit an analyze it. If i am writing a program for myself who ca res if i am putting comments or not? Why should anyone care..its like im tellin g you your an idiot for adding comments..im just saying that i personally do not comment unless i know its either a group project or my code is very long and co mplicated as you said. True i know very little about pic mcu's but enough of t he 68hc11 to get what i need done; 68hc11 is much easier to use, just not cost e ffective in most cases. So now how did this turn to a big argument that i suddenly dont know anything about programming?
