Hi Python learner,
The symbol # indicates the start of a comment. Comments do nothing indeed and are ignored by the system. Why do we write them then?
You know, programs are not regular English with all their (, ; { and etc. symbols spread all over.
So even smart programmers after some time, forget the context that made them write the so-called code. It gets tougher for them to modify it without comments.
So during our sessions, both you and I would be using these “comments” a lot!
