starting with # symbol is known as a comment. Python does not execute comments. Comments

                 are not a part of the program, but they do enhance the interactivity of the program and
                 make it readable. Python supports two types of comments: Single line comment and Multiline
                 comment.

                 Single Line Comment

                 In case, a user wants to specify a single line comment, then comment must start with the symbol #.

                 Example:

                   Program:                                         Output:

                   #printing a string                               Hello World

                   print("Hello world")
                 Multiple-line Comment


                 Python does not have a syntax for multiline comments. To add a multiple line comment, you

                 could insert a # for each line.

                 Example:

                   Program :                                    Output :

                   #printing a string                           Hello World

                   #print five names                            Rachna
                   print("Hello World")
                                                                Sambhav
                   print("Rachna")
                                                                Akshat
                   print("Sambhav")
                                                                Tushar
                   print("Akshat")

                   print("Tushar")

                 However, the text written inside triple quotes (''' or ''"") is also considered as comment. You can

                 use the triple quotes to write multiline comments. For example:
                                  '''This is                         """This is

                                     Multiline             OR           Multiline
                                     Comment'''                         Comment"""

                     OPERATORS

                 In Python, operators can be defined as special symbols which perform arithmetic and logical

                 computation. The values which the operators use to get the output are called  operands.
                 For example, in the expression 10 – 5, 10 and 5 are operands and the minus (–) sign is the operator.
