Block Comments
Lesson 6 of 28 in Coddy's Clean Code - Write better code using Python course.
“If the implementation is hard to explain, it’s a bad idea.”
- The Zen of Python
Comments are important so that anyone who will read your code can understand it.
Comments in Python seperate into 3 kinds:
- Block Comments
- Inline Comments
- Documentation Strings
Let's start from the Block Comments -
- Starts from the same indent block as the code they describe.
- Start each line with a
#followed by a single space.
For example,
while i < 10:
# Loop over i until i < 10
# print i with new line and increment it by 1
print(i, '\n')
i += 1
