Let's consider a English movie ,We can see some sentence running in the bottom of the screen
, which is know as SUBTITLE. If the subtitle has any mistake , or if is in no sync, it doesn't
affect the movie right? Subtitle is used for the understanding of the viewers . If we
remove them, the movie still runs.
Similarly, Comments in programming is nothing but a subtitle used for the understanding
of the programmers or someone who sees the code. These comments are not complied by the
interpreter, when it see a comment it just skips it.
You may think , "I know what I am doing , then you do I need comment!?" If you are creating
a program, you may remember everything, but after a week or a month , you cannot
remember those logics, everything will be just vanished, so we use comments in such
situation. Moreover when you are developing something , you may give it to some other
developer , for the understanding of them we use comments.
Ok , let's see how can you comment a line. It's so simple , just use hash symbol (#) at
the starting of the line. That's it you have commented a line :)
We also have multiline comment. Consider a situation where you need to comment more than one line, then
you need a multi line. How can we do multiline comment? It is so simple
Just enclose the lines with triple quotes(''' '''), that's it :D
EXAMPLE:
-
#this is a single line commenst , these lines are skipped by the interepreter
-
-
''' this is a multiline comment
-
we can comment more than
-
one line using triple quotes
-
'''
