Python Comments

❮ Prev Next ❯

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!")
Try it Yourself »

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
Try it Yourself »

A comment does not have to be text that explains the code, it can also be used to prevent Python from executing code:

Example

#print("Hello, World!")
print("Cheers, Mate!")
Try it Yourself »

Multi Line Comments

Python does not really have a syntax for multiline comments.

To add a multiline comment, you could insert a # for each line:

Example

#This is a comment
#written in
#more than just one line
print("Hello, World!")
Try it Yourself »

Or, not quite as intended, you can use a multiline string.

Since Python will ignore string literals that are not assigned to a variable, you can add a multiline string (triple quotes) in your code, and place your comment inside it:

Example

"""
This is a comment
written in
more than just one line
"""
print("Hello, World!")
Try it Yourself »

As long as the string is not assigned to a variable, Python will read the code, but then ignore it, and you have made a multiline comment.

Test Yourself With Exercises

Exercise:

Comments in Python are written with a special character, which one?
