Creating a Comment

• Create a Comment in VSCode, the easy way. On Windows, the shortcut is: CTRL + / On Mac, the shortcut is: Command + /*

Example

#This is a comment
print("Hello, World!")

Python will ignore string literals that are not assigned to a variable.

• add a multiline string (triple quotes) in your code and place your comment inside it.
