Practical Uses
This programming process can be used for prototyping a new design pattern. This is done by creating a new structure of classes without any implementation, and then you can add the implementation later.
Pseudocode Example:
function onClick { // This is where we handle mouse click. // The result of this function is that a button will be highlighted. }As you can see in the example, there is a structure around a click event handler. However, comment programming is used instead of a real implementation. The idea is that many functions can be written like this, and then the design can be reworked and revisited without having to refactor a lot of source code.
