Strings as Comments

• '''

marks single line comments.

There are no real multi-line comments in Python, but we can use triple-quots to create multi-line strings and if they are not part of another statement, they will be disregarded by the Python interpreter. Effectively creating multi-line comments.

print("hello")

'A string which is disregarded'

print(42)

'''
  Using three single-quotes on both ends (a triple-quoted string)
  can be used as a multi-line comment.

print("world")
