Comments in Python, Easy To Learn Comments Tutorial in Python

Python Comments

Python programs get bigger and more complicated, they get more difficult to read. Comments are very important while writing a program. Formal languages are dense, and it is often difficult to look at a piece of code and figure out what it is doing, or why.

In Python, we use the hash (#) symbol to start writing a comment.Â

Everything after "#" on a line is ignored. No block comments, but doc strings are a comment in quotes at the beginning of a module, class, method or function. Also, editors with support for Python often provide the ability to comment out selected blocks of code, usually with "##".

Python Programming language comments are following...

Python supports two types of comments:

1) Single lined comment :

In case user wants to specify a single line comment, then comment must start with ?#?

2) Multi lined Comments :

If we have comments that extend multiple lines, one way of doing it is to use hash (#) in the beginning of each line. For example.

#This is
#educational website.
#URL is freetimelearning.com

Another way of doing this is to use triple quotes, either ''' or """.

These triple quotes are generally used for multi-line strings. But they can be used as multi-line comment as well. Unless they are not docstrings, they do not generate any extra code.

""" This is
educational website.
URL is freetimelearning.com """
