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
                                                                     Sambhav
                        print("Hello World")
                                                                     Akshat
                        print("Rachna")
                                                                     Tushar
                        print("Sambhav")

                        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.
                  Python divides the operators in the following categories.

                       Arithmetic Operators

                  Arithmetic operators perform arithmetic operations between two operands. The arithmetic operators
                  are defined in the following table:

                   Operator         Name                         Description                     Example      Output
                                                                                               (x=7 and y=3)

                       +       Addition         Adds values on either side of the operator.         x + y        10

                       –       Subtraction      Subtracts the right-hand operand from the          x – y          4
                                                left-hand operand.

                       *       Multiplication   Multiplies values on either side of the operator.  x * y         21
