Python Comments Multiple Lines

There are two ways in which you can comment out multiple lines in Python Programming,

1. Multi-Line Comment: using triple single quotes: '''
2. Docstring: using triple double quotes: """

Examples:

• Using triple single quotes at the start and end of the command line.

  '''
  This is a multi-line comment
  using triple single quotes
  that can span multiple lines.
  '''
  
  # This is a single-line comment
  
  def my_function():
   ...
   ...
   ...
  

• Using triple double quotes at the start and end of the command line.

  def my_func():
      """
      This is a multi-line comment
      using triple single quotes
      that can span multiple lines.
  
      This is called the function-level docstring.
      It is used to document the purpose and behavior of a function.
      """
      ...
      ...
      ...
