The video tutorial explains the importance of comments in programming, highlighting how they help document code and clarify its purpose. It covers single-line comments using a hash and multiline comments using triple quotes. A practical example is provided to show how comments can make code more understandable without altering its functionality.

What is the primary purpose of using comments in code?

• To execute additional code

• To document and explain the code

• To increase the speed of the program

• To create errors in the code

Which symbol is used to start a single-line comment in Python?

• No, it causes syntax errors

• No, it's not possible

• Yes, and it's the preferred method

Why is it beneficial to add comments to code when revisiting it later?

• To change the code's functionality

• To reduce the file size

• To make the code run faster

• To easily understand the code's purpose
