It doesn't matter. Both your comments are wrong from my point of
view. Someone who doesn't know in which direction the move happens is
certainly not qualified to modify the code. And as for learning, he/she
should start with a book, not with a piece of code that requires a
comment on every line unless one can guess its meaning.
