Comments and Documentation in Python

 

Comments are used to describe the purpose of the code. Comments are ignored

by the Python system. They are used purely to communicate information to a human reader.

# is used to write a comment

Ex: >>> 8 / 5 # division always returns a floating point number

1.6

 

Documenting Code: Python documentation strings (or docstrings) provide a convenient way of

associating documentation with Python modules, functions, classes, and methods.

We use triple quotes like   ‘‘‘    or  “ “ “.

Ex:

def add( ):

    """  This function will add two numbers     """

       a = int(input(“Enter The first number ”))

       b = int(input(“Enter the second number”))

       print(“Sum of  two numbers is”, a+b)
