I don't know that this is "wrong" as long as it's useful. Describing the
algorithm or high level stuff that's needed to understand the function.
No, it's confusing.
Comments *before* the function are supposed to explain the *specification*
of the function, which means what a *caller* of the function needs to know.
Descriptions of variables *within* the function are indeed useful (if
up to date), but they belong inside the function body.
