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"""
