python comments

Python code can be explained by comments.

Comments may be used for the readability of the code.

Comments may be employed when testing code to prevent execution.

Python ignores comments that begin with a # :

Example 1 :-

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

Output :-

Python will disregard the remainder of the line if you put a comment at the end of a line :

Example 2 :-

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

Output :-

It's not necessary for a comment to be text that explains the code; it can also be used to Prevention Python from running code.

Example 3 :-

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

Output :-

The syntax for multi-line comments is not really available in Python.

To add a multiline comment, use # for each line :

Example 1 :-

#This is a comment
#written in
#more than just one line
print("Hello, World!")

Output :-

You can also make use of a multiline string, which is not exactly what was intended.

As the literal strings the variable has not been assigned to are ignored by Python, you can insert a many-line string (three quotes) into your code.

Example 2 :-

"""
This is a comment
written in
more than just one line
"""
print("Hello, World!")

Output :-

Until the string is assigned to a variable, Python will read, ignore, but have made multiline comments about the code.
