Consider the following code:
Code:

for (i=0; i<Accounts.Count; i++)
{
  Accounts[i].Process();
}


This seems farily straightfoward code, so a comment like "//Loop through our accounts and process them" is not useful. We can see that from the code. However, a comment telling us what the real-world problem is that we're trying to solve is helpful in understanding the bigger picture: "//Calculate new monthly values for each of our accounts based on current market values".



But I wouldn't be calling the member function "process", I'd be naming it after what it does, therefore a comment wouldn't give me anymore information than what the line of code does! :P
