do you think comments are really helpful in gaining knowledge...?
the comments in the learning course as well as in the code playground by experienced people are very helpful and useful in attaining clear view about topic, different thougts of different people makes our thoughts enlarge ,( some times laugh also....)

yes comments are always helpful in many areas. because for example ,if some stranger tries to analyse your code without comments, it would be a hectic task for him to understand. if comments are provided the task would be simpler for him.
also wen u re-read your own code after a long time these comments will give u a quick understanding to ur code.
also if u r delegating ur task to someone else again these comments are helpful.
and many more....

Yes comments are really helpful for different reasons. For example if you wanted to go back and use your code then comments would be really helpful for understanding your code.

if you can't do that you didn't really learn anything new

@babu comments are really beneficial. you could end up with thousands lines of codes. regardless on how well you know your code you're bound to forget something.
Personally I hate losing time trying to figure out what a chunk of codes is meant to do. few lines of comments help refresh your memory and I am not talking of program maintenance or debugging.
comments are one of these things where "more is best".

yes as it can make as understood what its function and can make you follow in future
