>In mathematics we write a² + b² = c² to describe the relationship between the lengths of the sides of a right triangle. Therein lies the problem. Can you explain to me the meaning of a² + b² = c² without English? Can you just write down an equation and expect me to know what you're talking about? Can you explain to me the concept of entropy by just showing me all the equations? Can you explain to me the meaning of your program with only one letter variable names as shown in your Pythagorean equation above? You can't. That's why math texts consist of equations AND English, and there's no reason programming shouldn't either. Anyway a side note, have you ever heard of literate programming? |
