Comments can be used to explain Python code.
Comments can be used to make the code more readable.
Comments can be used to prevent execution when testing code.
Creating a Comment
Comments starts with a #, and Python will ignore them:
Example
#This is a comment
print(“Hello, World!”)
Comments can be placed at the end of a line, and Python will ignore the rest of the line:
Example
print(“Hello, World!”) #This is a comment
A comment does not have to be text that explains the code, it can also be used to prevent Python from executing code:
Example
#print(“Hello, World!”)
print(“Cheers, Mate!”)
Multi Line Comments
To add a multiline comment you could insert a # for each line:Example
#This is a comment
#written in
#more than just one line
print(“Hello, World!”)
