Python Comments

Comments can be used to ...

  • explain Python code
  • make code more readable
  • prevent execution when testing code

Creating a Comment
-starts with "#"

  • Create a Comment in VSCode, the easy way. On Windows, the shortcut is: CTRL + / On Mac, the shortcut is: Command + /*

Example

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

Python will ignore string literals that are not assigned to a variable.

  • add a multiline string (triple quotes) in your code and place your comment inside it.

"""
This is a comment
written in
more than just one line
"""
