Comments in Python

What are Comments?

Comments are the statements in a script that are ignored by the python interpreter and therefore, have no effect on the actual output of the code.

Comments make the code more readable and understandable for human beings.

 

This makes the revision / modification of the code easier by the original author of the code and also by you if you are given the responsibility.

Comments are not necessary in a script , but these are highly recommended if the script is too complex or if it is to be reviewed by multiple people over an interval of time.

 

A comment in Python starts with a hash symbol ( # ) anywhere in a line and extends till the end of the line . The following code contains two single line comments:

# this is a line comment

x=10

y=x+100    # value of x+100 is assigned to variable y

print(y)
