True but there is little point at the moment as I am still hacking
;-) Give it a couple of days and I will finalise things a bit more
and add some comments...
Writing out your ideas into docstrings or comments is a very good
coding practice for planning out what the code will do. I use it as
essentially a planning document prior to writing the code. I write
everything I want the code to do then make the code do it, it almost
sounds like a unit test ;). It helps me to think about the execution
of large chunks of code and if that is the optimal solution. I also
use comments to explain why I do things to help with debugging.
Cheers,
Edward
