Python Comments

Comments in Python begin with a hash mark (#) and whitespace character and continue to the end of the line.

Generally, comments will look something like this:

    #This is a Comment

Because comments do not execute, when you run a program you will not see any indication of the comment there. Comments are in the source code for humans to read, not for computers to execute.

1) Single lined comment:

In case user wants to specify a single line comment, then comment must start with #.

3) inline comments

If a comment is placed on the same line as a statement, it is called an inline comment. Similar to the block comment, an inline comment begins with a single hash (#) sign and followed by a space and comment.

It is recommended that an inline comment should separate from the statement at least two spaces. The following example demonstrates an inline comment

n+=1  #increase n by 1
