Ex2: Comments and Pound Characters

Keywork

1 #
2 # Comments

Q: If # is for comments, then how come # -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

A: Python still ignores that as code, but it‘s used as a kind of "hack" or workaround for problems with setting and detecting the format of a file. You also find a similar kind of comment for editor settings.

Q: Why does the # in print "Hi # there." not get ignored?

A: The # in that code is inside a string, so it will be put into the string until the ending " character is hit. These pound characters are just considered characters and aren‘t considered comments.
