How to comment out a block of code in Python

In Python, you can comment out a block of code by using the "#" symbol at the beginning of each line. For example:

An example for commenting out single code lines in Python

<div class="alert alert-info flex not-prose"> <span class="hidden md:block">Watch a video course </span> Python - The Practical Guide</div>

Another way to comment out multiple lines of code at once is to use triple quotes """. This can be used for both single or multiple line comments.

Alternatively, you can also use the ''' for multiple line comments.

Please note that, comments have no effect on the execution of code, they are only for human readers to understand the code.
