Python Review
What are three purposes of comments?
1.Comments can be used to explain Python code 2.Comments can be used to make code more readable 3.Comments can be used to prevent execution when testing code
What are 5 advantages of Python?
1.Python works on many different platforms(Windows,Mac,Linux,Raspberry Pie,etc.) 2.Python has a simple syntax very similar to the English language 3.Python has syntax that allows developers to write programs with fewer lines of code than other programming languages 4.Python runs on a interpreter system, meaning that code can be executed as soon as it is written. This means that prototyping can be done very quickly. 5.Python can be treated in a procedural way, an object oriented way, or a functional way.
What is one purpose of comments?
1.To tell the computer to ignore
What are two ways you can do a multi line comment in Python?
1.insert a # for every line ex: #This is #a #multiline comment 2.Using a multi line string """ """, since Python will ignore string literals that are not assigned to a variable, you can add multi line string(triple quotes) in your code, and place your comment inside of it Ex- """ This Is A Multi line comment """
