You try debugging someone elses work. Let alone your own work ten projects down the road.. why did i do that again??? It's not to make it look like i worked hard on it, that goes without saying.. it's to let other programmers (and myself) know what i was doing and why i did it. When you get a job as a programmer and your first project is to finish off what the last guy/girl was working on when he/she left.. let's just hope it isn't a twenty mb program with no comments anywhere eh? As far as indentation goes.. i do that because it looks cleaner imo. What will an employer think when you are showing them your portfolio and some of your code modules and you have if-tests or select cases/switches within select cases/switches and no comments anywhere. The next dude applying for the job does have comments in there and his/her code is more readable thanks to the indentation? Whose work is easier to understand? If your going to be on your own.. well then well and good continue programming klingon style.. if you are going to be working in a team environment.. you'd best learn to start commenting..[/QUOTE]Djinn, I feel your pain!! That's what it's like every day here!! Not only does the old code NOT have comments, but no one ever thinks to take the time to write suppport documentation. So here's my first day at this place 2 years ago: "Here's our data feed, it's the most important process in our entire company, without it, we're dead. We've had it for about 10 years. We don't know how it works, go find out" Ever work as a programmer at some company and wonder how they've managed to stay in business as long as they have?
