Is it possible to write good and understandable code without any comments?

Question

Can any one suggest what is the best way to write good code that is understandable without a single line of comments?

Answer 1

I like to 'humanise' code, so instead of:

if (starColour.red > 200 && starColour.blue > 200 && starColour.green > 200){
   doSomething();
}

I'll do this:

bool starIsBright;
starIsBright = (starColour.red > 200 && starColour.blue > 200 && starColour.green > 200);

if(starIsBright){
   doSomething();
}
