I've read some documention
and it's often so terribly written, like its written BY and TO someone who already knows everything about it, so its super vague and so basically useless.
a good example on documentation, IMO, is mozillas javascript documentation. that's great.
i really dont like microsofts C# documentation though. and there's probably worse ones out there.
(I will add, english isn't my primary language and the documentation is almost exclusively available in english)
Docs - method returns string.
