                     COMMENTS IN PYTHON

                 Comments in Python can be used to explain parts of the code. It can also be used to hide the code
                 as well. Comments enable us to understand the way a program works. In Python, any statement
                 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")

                 Multiline 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
                                                                    Tushar
                       print("Sambhav")
                       print("Akshat")

                       print("Tushar")

                 However,  the  text  written  inside  triple  quotes  ('''  comments  '''  or  ''""  comments  """)  is  also
                 considered as comment. You can use the triple quotes to write multiline comments. For example:
                                  '''This is                         """This is
                                     Multiline                          Multiline
                                     Comment'''             OR          Comment"""
