# set distance to 200         <-- we use comments like this to document our code
distance = 200

time = 40 # set time to 40    <-- we can call this an inline comment


# Python does not officially have multine comments, but we can use multiple #
# characters (one on each line), or mutliline strings created using either
# ''' or """ style triple quotations as done below.

#  Calculate the speed by dividing the distance
#  by the time.

"""
  Calculate the speed by dividing the distance
  by the time.

'''
  Calculate the speed by dividing the distance
  by the time.
'''

speed = distance / time


# We can experiment with our code by temporarily "commenting out" sections of
# code... for example we could turn this print() below into a comment in order
# to try out a variation (see below).  If we didn't like the new code we've
# tried out, we still have the old code avaiable and can just uncomment the
# code by removing the # character.
#
# print("Speed:", speed)

print("Speed ->", speed)
