kódmagyarázat

A *kódmagyarázat* (also known as a code explanation or code comment) refers to a textual annotation within a computer program that provides additional information about the code’s purpose, logic, or functionality. These explanations are typically written in plain text and are ignored by the compiler or interpreter, serving primarily to assist developers in understanding, maintaining, or debugging the code.

Kódmagyarázatok can take various forms, including inline comments, block comments, or documentation strings. Inline comments are short explanations placed directly before or after a line of code, while block comments are used for longer explanations or to temporarily disable sections of code. Documentation strings, often used in programming languages like Python, provide structured metadata about functions, classes, or modules.

The primary purpose of a kódmagyarázat is to improve code readability and collaboration among developers. Well-written comments clarify complex logic, explain non-obvious decisions, and document the intended behavior of a function or algorithm. However, excessive or poorly written comments can clutter code and become outdated, leading to maintenance challenges. Best practices recommend keeping comments concise, accurate, and aligned with the actual code.

In Hungarian programming contexts, *kódmagyarázat* is commonly used in both academic and professional settings to emphasize the importance of clear documentation. Many Hungarian developers follow coding standards that encourage consistent comment formatting and integration with automated documentation tools, such as Sphinx or Doxygen. Proper use of kódmagyarázatok enhances code quality and ensures smoother software development processes.
