Comments in Python

Let’s see the different ways there are to put comments in Python. We have three ways to handle comments in Python.

The first will be to have a line with the comment. To do this, what we do is put the pound symbol before the beginning of the line.

# This is a one-line Python comment

The second way will be to put it after a sentence. In this case we use the hash again, although in this case, behind the sentence.

print "Examples of Comments" # After a sentence

The third way will be if we want to put a comment on multiple lines. To do this we must have a line with three quotes (single or double), then the comments lines and at the end another line with three quotes.

'''
Comments
multi-line
'''

In this case it is a bit contradictory since Python does not consider it as a comment, the comments would only be the hash marks, but rather it is a multi-line text string that is not assigned to a variable.

These are the three ways we can include comments in Python.
