Multi-Line Comments

Python does not have a dedicated syntax for multi-line comments. However, they are commonly written using multiple # symbols or unassigned string literals.

1. Using multiple hashtags (#)

We can use multiple hashtags (#) to write multiline comments. Each and every line will be considered as a single-line comment.

2. Using String Literals

Python ignores the string literals that are not assigned to a variable. So, we can use these string literals as comments.
