comment multiline string python code example

Example 1: multiline comment python

# While Python doesn't support multi-line comments, it can ignore anything
'''
inside a multi-line string!
Just wrap the comment in the three single quote marks,
And
you're
good
to
go!
'''

Example 2: python multiline comment

#%% There are not multiline comments in python,
# this # is the only form of commenting but, people use
# """triple quotes""" for multiline commenting but this
# is actually a String the interpreter will read and 
# will ocupy memory. If you dont put this kind of string
# into a variable it will be collected on execution

Example 3: python multiline comment

def increase_salary(sal,rating,percentage):
    """ increase salary base on rating and percentage
    rating 1 - 2 no increase
    rating 3 - 4 increase 5%
    rating 4 - 6 increase 10%
 
    """

Example 4: multiline comment in python

# Python is a language that doesn't support multiline comments
# In languages like JS, single line comments have // in the beginning
# and multiline comments have /* in the beginning
# and */ in the end
# the pound symbol in front of these five lines is the python equivalent of //
print("But there is a workaround!!!")
"""
In python, multiline string is written with 3 double or single quotes, 
and the characters in between are treated as an entire string
but, if this string isn't assigned to a variable, python doesnt give any error
It instead ignores the string, similar to the behaviour it would have 
towards a comment. 
BUT!!!!!
If this is string is put just after defining a function, it is treated as a 
docstring, or the documentation string of that function. So, it does have a 
meaning and is not exactly ignored by Python

def someFUnc():
  """
  Python will treat this as a docstring
  """
  pass

print(someFUnc.__doc__)

# OUTPUT:
#   Python will treat this as a docstring
