Intro To Python Programming - Commenting Your Code in Python

The video tutorial emphasizes the importance of commenting code in any programming language, particularly in Python. It explains how to use the hash symbol to create comments, which serve two main purposes: documentation and debugging. The instructor demonstrates how comments can help document code for future reference and how they can be used to temporarily disable code for debugging purposes. The tutorial concludes by encouraging viewers to adopt the habit of commenting their code.

Why is it important to comment your code?

• To increase the file size

• To document the code for future reference

• To confuse other developers

• To make the code run faster

What symbol is used to add comments in Python?

• Double quotes

• Asterisk

• Hash symbol

• Semicolon

How do comments help other developers?

• By hiding errors in the code

• By reducing the code's readability

• By providing documentation and understanding of the code

• By making the code more complex

What is one way comments can be used in debugging?

• To permanently delete lines of code

• To increase the execution speed

• To temporarily disable lines of code

• To add new features to the code

What happens to lines of code that are commented out?

• They are highlighted in the output

• They are executed twice

• They are ignored by the interpreter

• They cause syntax errors
