User Program Communication

Commenting in Python

Commenting is used to write text within the code that is ignored by the compiler.


Syntax
#single line comment

"""
   multiline comment (actually a string)
"""

Notes

Can be used for documentation, code descriptons, resource inclusion, readability, debugging, and any other note that the programmer would like to include.


Example
#the code below outputs "I think I am cool"

print ("I think I am cool")

"""
The code below outputs the string:
'Because I am!'
"""

print ("Because I am!")
