Line comments either start with a comment delimiter and continue until the end of the line, or in some cases, start at a specific column (character line offset) in the source code, and continue until the end of the line. [6] Some programming languages employ both block and line comments with different comment delimiters.
Like raw strings, there can be any number of equals signs between the square brackets, provided both the opening and closing tags have a matching number of equals signs; this allows nesting as long as nested block comments/raw strings use a different number of equals signs than their enclosing comment: --[[comment --[=[ nested comment ...
Python's syntax is simple and consistent, adhering to the principle that "There should be one— and preferably only one —obvious way to do it." The language incorporates built-in data types and structures, control flow mechanisms, first-class functions , and modules for better code reusability and organization.
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.
Python programs are evaluated top-to-bottom, as is usual in scripting languages: the entry point is the start of the source code. Since definitions must precede use, programs are typically structured with definitions at the top and the code to execute at the bottom (unindented), similar to code for a one-pass compiler , such as in Pascal.
Comments are ignored by the compiler and are written for better understanding of the program. OBTW [MESSAGE]TLDR: Similar to the BTW keyword, the OBTW keyword marks a multiline comment, a comment that spans multiple lines. In LOLCODE, the OBTW keyword signifies the start of a multiline comment while the TLDR keyword ends it.

Beyond syntactic requirements of C/C++, implicit concatenation is a form of syntactic sugar, making it simpler to split string literals across several lines, avoiding the need for line continuation (via backslashes) and allowing one to add comments to parts of strings. For example, in Python, one can comment a regular expression in this way: [21]
