How do I make multi-line comments? Most languages have block comment symbols like: /* */

Python does not have a traditional block comment syntax like some other programming languages (e.g., /* */ in C/C++, Java). Instead, you can use triple-quoted strings (''' or """) to create multi-line comments. While these strings are not specifically meant for commenting, they effectively work as comments and are often used for documentation purposes.

Here's an example of how to create multi-line comments in Python using triple-quoted strings:

python

'''
This is a multi-line comment.
It spans across multiple lines.
'''

"""
Another way to create a multi-line comment.
Use triple-quoted strings.
"""

# Regular single-line comment
print("Hello, world!")

In this example, both ''' and """ are used to create multi-line comment blocks. While these comment blocks are not ignored by the interpreter, they are usually treated as documentation strings (docstrings) and can be accessed using the .__doc__ attribute of objects.

It's important to note that while triple-quoted strings can serve as multi-line comments, the more common convention in Python is to use single-line comments using # for short comments and to use docstrings for longer explanations. Docstrings are accessible and can be viewed using the help() function or tools like Sphinx for documentation generation.
