Single-line comments begin with the hash character (#) and continue until the end of the line. Comments spanning more than one line are achieved by inserting a multi-line string (with """ or ''' as the delimiter on each end) that is not used in assignment or otherwise evaluated, but sits in between other statements. Commenting a piece of code:
[5] [6] [7] A line comment ends at the end of the text line. In modern languages, a line comment starts with a delimiter but some older languages designate a column at which subsequent text is considered comment. [7] Many languages support both block and line comments – using different delimiters for each.
Python uses the + operator for string concatenation. Python uses the * operator for duplicating a string a specified number of times. The @ infix operator is intended to be used by libraries such as NumPy for matrix multiplication. [104] [105] The syntax :=, called the "walrus operator", was introduced in Python 3.8. It assigns values to ...
In Python, a generator can be thought of as an iterator that contains a frozen stack frame. Whenever next() is called on the iterator, Python resumes the frozen frame, which executes normally until the next yield statement is reached. The generator's frame is then frozen again, and the yielded value is returned to the caller.
All examples are given for languages with C-like comments where a multi-line comment starts with /* and a single line comment starts with //. Doxygen ignores a comment unless it is marked specially. For a multi-line comment, the comment must start with /** or /*!. A markup tag is prefixed with a backslash (\) or an at-sign (@). [16]
Command arguments are split in different ways across platforms. Some systems do not split up the arguments; for example, when running the script with the first line, #!/usr/bin/env python3 -c all text after the first space is treated as a single argument, that is, python3 -c will be passed as one argument to /usr/bin/env, rather than two arguments.
In programming, a docstring is a string literal specified in source code that is used, like a comment, to document a specific segment of code.Unlike conventional source code comments, or even specifically formatted comments like docblocks, docstrings are not stripped from the source tree when it is parsed and are retained throughout the runtime of the program.
Arguments are given after the command, and are separated from the command using a space. [11] For example, the command to set the trigger mode of an instrument to "normal" may be given as "TRIGger:MODe NORMal". Here, the word "NORMal" is used as the argument to the "TRIGger:MODe" command. When multiple arguments are provided, the arguments are ...
