Study Notes

Saving a Program in Python

Access the File menu and select the Save option.
The Save As dialog box will appear; enter the desired file name.
Select "Python files" in the "Save as type" dropdown menu.
Click the Save button to store the file, which can be identified as Untitled-Notepad initially.
Ensure the file name has a .py extension (e.g., temperature.py) for Python compatibility.

Python Comments

Comments are essential for explaining and clarifying Python code, enhancing readability.
They can be used to disable the execution of certain code segments for testing purposes.
A comment begins with the hash (#) symbol and continues to the end of the line.
- Example: # This is a comment followed by executable code like print("Hello, World!").

Types of Comments

There are two main types of comments in Python:
- Single-line comments initiated by the hash symbol (#).
- Multi-line comments often encompass multiple single-line comments or use triple quotes for longer explanations.
