def:
What other coding/programming languages are used for coding programs for robots?
Many programmers will insert 'comments' into their code. The way they make a line of text a comment varies depending on the coding language (e.g. # and " " in Python, // in C#). Why would programmers insert comments into their code?
To explain the code
To make the code run faster
What benefit does explaining the code using comments give?
It improves code readability and maintainability.
What coding language have you used the most?
