Expert Solution
Step 1

Comments in Python :

In every programming language, we have 2 types of comments :-

  • Single line Comments
  • Multi line Comments 

In Python, single line comments start with the hash symbol '#', while multi-line comments are enclosed in triple quotes `'''` or `"""`.

Here's an example of a single line Comment :

# This is a single-line comment 

Example of Multi-line comment :

'''

This is a 

multi-line

comment

'''

We can also use triple double quotes instead of triple single-quotes :

""" 

This is a 

multi-line

comment

"""

Multi-line comments are often used to provide more detailed explanations of code,while single-line comments are useful for annotating specific lines or sections of code.
