How To Write Comments in Python 3

Updated on July 8, 2021
πŸ‘ How To Write Comments in Python 3

Introduction

Comments are lines that exist in computer programs that are ignored by compilers and interpreters. Using comments in programs can make code more readable for humans, as it provides some information or explanation about what each part of a program is doing.

Depending on the purpose of your program, comments can serve as notes to yourself or reminders, or they can be written with the intention of other programmers being able to understand what your code is doing.

In general, it is a good idea to write comments while you are writing or updating a program as it is easy to forget your thought process later on, and comments written later may be less useful in the long term.
