COMMENT

Python uses indentation to indicate blocks of code. Comments can be used to explain Python code and make it more readable. Comments start with # and can be placed on their own line or at the end of a line. Multiline comments can be created by using # on each line or by using a multiline string that is not assigned to a variable.

Python Indentation

Indentation refers to the spaces at the beginning of a code line.

Where in other programming languages the indentation in code is for readability


only, the indentation in Python is very important.

Python uses indentation to indicate a block of code.

Example
if 5 > 2:
  print("Five is greater than two!")

Python Comments

Comments can be used to explain Python code.

Comments can be used to make the code more readable.

Comments can be used to prevent execution when testing code.

Creating a Comment
Comments starts with a #, and Python will ignore them:

Example
#This is a comment
print("Hello, World!")

Comments can be placed at the end of a line, and Python will ignore the rest of
the line:
Example
print("Hello, World!") #This is a comment

Comments does not have to be text to explain the code, it can also be used to
prevent Python from executing code:

Example
#print("Hello, World!")
print("Cheers, Mate!")

Multi Line Comments


Python does not really have a syntax for multi line comments.

To add a multiline comment you could insert a # for each line:

Example
#This is a comment
#written in
#more than just one line
print("Hello, World!")

Or, not quite as intended, you can use a multiline string.

Since Python will ignore string literals that are not assigned to a variable, you
can add a multiline string (triple quotes) in your code, and place your comment
inside it:

Example
"""
This is a comment
written in
more than just one line
"""
print("Hello, World!")
