External Documentation
The following should be included as a long comment at the beginning of your
program:
Full Name
ID #
General description of what the program does.
Give limitations (positive or negative), bugs, special features, and
assumptions made, if any.
Internal Documentation
Comments next to a declaration of a variable or data member should
provide extra information not conveyed by the identifier's name. The name
of a variable should tell as much about it as is possible without making
it too long; additional information can be supplied by a comment.
