Comments in formula

To enhance the auditabilty of code it would be very helpful if developers could annotate the code to explain 'why' in some cases, especially in complex conditional statements.

As a visiting consultant i know i am leaving a model in the hands of others and its a good help to them. Other software does this by

//make note

REM make note etc

Great point! Explaining difficult code with annotations improves clarity and maintainability. Understanding the 'why' of programming empowers future engineers and improves teamwork. Basic comments like // make note or REM make note can help everyone stay on track. I appreciate your emphasis on this discipline!

Introducing a validation capability—where model builders set upper and lower bounds for number…
