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.
In object-oriented languages, string functions are often implemented as properties and methods of string objects. In functional and list-based languages a string is represented as a list (of character codes), therefore all list-manipulation procedures could be considered string functions.
# In the following example, the value for "evenKey" is "This is on one line\". evenKey = This is on one line \\ # This line is a normal comment and is not included in the value for "evenKey". # If the number of backslash ('\') is odd, then the next line is included in the value.
Comments are allowed as: /* This is a comment */ and // This is a line comment. As in C, whitespace are generally insignificant to syntax. Value statements terminate by a semicolon. One limitation of the original NeXT property list format is that it could not represent an NSValue (number, Boolean, etc.) object.
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 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 ...
A string literal or anonymous string is a literal for a string value in the source code of a computer program. Modern programming languages commonly use a quoted sequence of characters, formally "bracketed delimiters", as in x = "foo", where , "foo" is a string literal with value foo. Methods such as escape sequences can be used to avoid the ...
