Lesson 13 Comments

Comments in Python are used to explain code, improve readability, and prevent code execution during testing. They start with a # symbol and can be placed at the end of a line or used for multi-line comments by placing # on each line. Python does not have a specific syntax for multi-line comments, so this method is commonly used.

Lesson 13: Comments

Comments can be used to explain Python code.


Comments can be used to make the code more readable.
Comments can be used to prevent the execution of a line of code during testing.

Creating a Comment
Comments start 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

Comments do not have to be text to explain the code, it can also be used to prevent Python from
executing code:

Example
#print("Hello, World!")
print("Cheers, Mate!")

Multi-Line Comments
Python does not really have a syntax for 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!")
