If you are a programmer then you do code, when you do a lot of code in a same program then it is hard to find a piece of code which you need to edit or more. So, you have a technique which is comment, making comment before doing programs is easy to search special code block.

Q. What is comments and when comments are needed to do in program or script?

Comments are description of program or script. Which are not read by interpreter during compiling and run time. When we write any program or script then we want to give some description of code for understanding purpose and make it understandable to user who see the code or edit it for various reason.  

In python, there are three way of making comment in python.

 TYPES OF COMMENTS:-

1. Single line comment
2. Multiple line comment

   SINGLE LINE COMMENT

Single line comment : It is used to indicate what a section of code does. 

for example: if we solve any program and want to tell what does program perform then you can make a single line comment describing the work like it perform checking the number whether it is palindrome or not.

In python, there is one way of making single line comment.

Single Line Comment

In above sample pic of program in python, there is a single line comment starting with a character ' # ' and that line is not read by interpreter. Now, it is clear how can you make single line comment in python.

   MULTIPLE LINE COMMENT

Multiple line comment : It is used to serve as documentation for others to make them clear to understand what does the script perform. It is used for more detailing of code or script as a documentation purpose only.

for example: If you make a project with multiple line comment as a documentation to make it clear for you and your client and it is obvious that code or script is very lengthy. If ever you want to update the code then you can easily find and understand a piece of code what does it mean.

In python, there are two way of making multiple line comment.

First making three double quotes like this """   """.

Second making three single quotes like this '''    ''''.

Multiple Line Comment

In the above sample pic of program in python, there is a multiple line comment using two different ways of making it.
