How do I create multiline comments in Python?

In Python, there isn’t a built-in syntax specifically for multiline comments like in some other languages (e.g., /* */ in Java or C). But don’t worry! There are still a couple of ways to write them depending on what you're trying to achieve.

Here’s how I usually handle multiline comments in Python:

1. Using multiple single-line comments (#)

This is the most common and recommended way.

# This is a multiline comment

# using the hash symbol

# at the beginning of each line

2. Using triple quotes (''' or """)

These are technically string literals, not true comments, but they can be used for documentation or to temporarily disable blocks of code.

'''

This looks like a multiline comment,

but it's actually a string that’s not assigned

to any variable, so Python ignores it.

'''

 Tip: Triple-quoted strings are mostly used for docstrings (like explaining what a function or class does).

Things to keep in mind:

• Use # for real comments that will be ignored by Python.
  
• Use triple quotes only when you're documenting or need to comment out large code blocks quickly (but not in production code).
  
• Python doesn’t officially have a "multiline comment" feature—so think of it more as workarounds than a dedicated syntax.
  

Hope that clears it up! If you're writing a lot of comments, it's a good sign you're trying to make your code readable—keep it up!
