Creating a Comment Example #This is a comment print("Hello, World!") Comments can be placed at the end of a line, and Python will ignore the rest of the line: print("Hello, World!") #This is a comment A comment does not have to be text that explains the code, it can also be used to prevent Python from executing code: Example #print("Hello, World!") print("Cheers, Mate!")
