At university we are forced to use exactly the braindamaged settings and styles that linux condemns. So, every good programmer should know where to put comments. And it is unnecessary to put comments to explain what code does. One should see this as stated in the CodingStyle doc. Ok, there are points where a comment is good, but for example at university we are to comment on every single line of code ... So back to work now!
