Introduction

Comments are parts of code that are not executed by the compiler


Line Comment

Comments starts with a #, and Python will ignore them:

#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:

print("Hello, World!") #This is a comment

Multiple Lines Comments

  • Python does not really have a syntax for multiline comments.
  • Since Python will ignore string literals that are not assigned to a variable, you can add a multiline string (triple quotes) in your code, and place your comment inside it:
"""  
This is a comment  
written in  
more than just one line  
"""  
print("Hello, World!")
