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 four names                             Reeta

             print("Hello World")                           Chirag


             print("Reeta")                                 Akshat

             print("Chirag")                                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
                                                      OR
                                Multiline                          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.
