How to comment out a block of code in Python

There are a few ways in which we can comment out a block of code in Python, let's take a look at them with examples.

Example 1: Triple Quotes - Multi-line Comments (''')

'''
def add_numbers(a, b):
    no1 = a
    no2 = b
    sum = no1 + no2
    return sum
'''


def diff_numbers(a, b):
    no1 = a
    no2 = b
    diff = no2 - no1
    return diff


result = diff_numbers(5, 10)
print("Result:", result)

Example 2: Single line Comments (using #)

# def add_numbers(a, b):
#     no1 = a
#     no2 = b
#     sum = no1 + no2
#     return sum


def diff_numbers(a, b):
    no1 = a
    no2 = b
    diff = no2 - no1
    return diff


result = diff_numbers(1, 2)
print("Result:", result)
