Python Comments

• Python Comments

Anything after a # is ignored by Python.

Why comment?

• Describe what is going to happen in a sequence of code.

• Document who wrote the code or other ancillary information.

• Turn off a line of code-perhaps temporarily.

Python supports two types of comments:

1. Single lined comment.

2. Multi lined comment.

1. Single Lined Comment:

In Python, we use the hash (#) symbol to start writing a comment .If developer want to only specify one line comment than use single line comment, then comment must start with #.

Example : 

# This is single line comment. ( hash or pound )

print(“Hello”) #This is notification

2. Multi-line Comments:

If we have comments that extend multiple lines, one way of doing it is to use hash(#) in the beginning of each line.

Example:

#This is a comment

#and it extends

#to multiple

Another way of doing this is to use triple quotes.

These triple quotes are generally used for multi-line strings. But they can be used as multi-line comment as well. Unless they are not docs strings, they do not generate any extra code.

Example:

“”” This is also a
