It is typically considered essential to place comments in code, not only to document what something does for others– but for yourself 6 months down the line.

 Another short hand method of placing a comment in the code is to use the ‘ character to comment the code. Below are two examples:

‘ This is a comment too
x=x+1 ‘this is a comment after a line of code, the code is processed and the comment is ignored.
