How would you describe math in comments?

Well as the questions says...

An equation might be more meaningful in its math-notated form than it is in code. Being able to put math in comments could improve readabibity on my projects.

In .NET btw.

Solution

  • I just use multiple lines to do it thus:

    // Work out average as:  sum (values)
//                      --------------
//                      count (values)
//
// and distance between points as:
//           _______________________
//          /         2            2
//    d = \/ (x1 - x0)  + (y1 - y0)
//
// and the following function:
//
//             3     2   
//    f(x) = ax  + bx  + cx + d

    No magic required for that at all. Don't you just love ASCII art?
