Python Comments

Comments can be used to explain Python code.

Comments can be used to make the code more readable.

Comments can be used to prevent execution when testing code.

Creating a Comment

Comments starts with a #, and Python will ignore them:

Example

#This is a comment

print("Hello, World!")

Comments can be placed at the end of a line, and Python will ignore the rest of the line:

Example

print("Hello, World!") #This is a comment

Comments does not have to be text to explain the code, it can also be used to prevent Python from executing code:

Example

#print("Hello, World!")

print("Cheers, Mate!")
