Comments in Python

In Python, comments are used to include explanatory notes or annotations in our code. Python supports two types of comments:

1. Single-Line Comments Use the # symbol at the beginning of a line to create a single-line comment.

Example:

Python

# This is a single-line comment
print("Hello, World!")  # This comment explains the print statement

2. Multi-Line Comments Python doesn't have a specific syntax for multi-line comments, but we can use triple quotes (''' or """) for the purpose.

Example:

Python

"""
This is a multi-line comment.
It can span multiple lines.
"""
print("Multi-line comments example")

Alternatively, you can use multiple single-line comments:

Python

# This is a multi-line comment
# written using single-line comments.
print("Another way to write multi-line comments")
