python multi comment

1# Python is a language that doesn't support multiline comments
2# In languages like JS, single line comments have // in the beginning
3# and multiline comments have /* in the beginning
4# and */ in the end
5# the pound symbol in front of these five lines is the python equivalent of //
6print("But there is a workaround!!!")
7"""
8In python, multiline string is written with 3 double or single quotes, 
9and the characters in between are treated as an entire string
10but, if this string isn't assigned to a variable, python doesnt give any error
11It instead ignores the string, similar to the behaviour it would have 
12towards a comment. 
13BUT!!!!!
14If this is string is put just after defining a function, it is treated as a 
15docstring, or the documentation string of that function. So, it does have a 
16meaning and is not exactly ignored by Python
