Comment: I really like the design of your code as it is really simple and easy to read. I can follow through line by line and I don't really need the comments to need to know what is happening where, it's simply put. The documentation is well placed and isn't overly done. There is documentation at nearly every step that needs it, which is helpful for reference. Overall, to me the code looks fairly efficient as every variable is used and there isn't any unnecessary lines of code. Nice work!
