There are two ways to comment in Python:
single-line comments and multi-line comments.
single-line comments and multi-line comments.

Single line comment
A single line comment starts with the number sign (#) character:
|
0 1 2 3 |
# This is a comment print('Hello') |
For each line you want to comment, put the number sign (#) in front.
|
0 1 2 3 |
# print('This is not run') print('Hello') |
Comments should help other software developers, not be obvious like:
Multiline comment
Multiple lines can be created by repeating the number sign several times:
|
0 1 2 3 4 |
# This is a comment # second line x = 4 |
but this quickly becomes impractical. A common way to use comments for multiple lines is to use the (”’) symbol:
|
0 1 2 3 4 |
