how to do multipple comment in python
Use # for each line, or use triple quotes for a block of text. Python does
not have a special multiline comment syntax, so the common practice is to
stack single-line comments with # or use a triple-quoted string when you
want to temporarily disable a block of code.
Two common ways
#on every line:
python
# This is a comment
# that spans multiple lines
# in Python
print("Hello")
- Triple quotes:
python
"""
This looks like a multiline comment,
but it's really a string literal.
"""
print("Hello")
Important note
Triple quotes are often used as docstrings or as a convenient way to block out
code, but they are not true comments in the language syntax. For normal
commenting, # is the safest and clearest choice.
Best practice
- Use
#for real comments and explanations. - Use triple quotes mainly for docstrings.
- In editors, you can often select multiple lines and toggle comments with a shortcut.
