Ugh. Those say nothing. They don't hint to the boolean nature of the
variables being assigned to. They're as useless as the comments in
the following code:

   main()
   {
     int i; /* declare variable i */
     i=0; /* assign zero to i */
     while (!EOF) { /* while not end of file */
       i=i+1; /* increment i by one */
       if (i>100) /* if i is greater than 100 */
         i=0; /* then reset i to zero */
     }
   }
