I am building a calculator and I'm aware of what these functions do.
What I basically want feedback on is: Do I need to comment this or is there sufficient information to ascertain its purpose:
function percentOfValue(percentage, of)
return (percentage / 100) * of;
function whatPercentOfValue(small, large)
return (small / large) * 100
javascript

Code level comments usually lose their context if not properly maintained. Using self descriptive variable names is a good choice. Appreciate your efforts in keeping the code highly readable.
First method, is trying to get the Percentage value, I would update the method definition to
getPercentOfValue(from, percentage)
.Second method, is trying to calculate percent rate, I would update the method definition to
getPercentRate(newValue, originalValue)
to follow the terminology in formula.
