Python Comments

  • Python comments can be used to explain source code.
  • Python comments can be used to make the source code more readable and easy to understand.
  • Python comments can be used to prevent execution when testing code.
  • Comments can be placed at the end of a line, and Python will ignore the rest of the line.

Types of python comment

There are two types of comments used in python:

  • Single line Comment
  • Multiline Comment

Single line Comment

  • A comment which gives only one line is called a single-line comment.
  • It is represented by the # (hash) symbol.
Example 1
#This is a comment
print("This is NIELITBHU!")
Example 2

print("This is NIELITBHU!")#This is a comment

Multi Line Comments

  • A comment which gives more than one line is called a multi-line comment.
  • It is represented by the ”’ ”’ (Single triple quote open and close) symbol.
  • It is also represented by the “””  “”” (Double triple quote open and close) symbol.
Example 1
'''

written in
more than just one line
'''
print("hii this is Ashish here!")
Example 2
"""

written in
more than one line
"""
