Python allows programmers to pass additional arguments to functions via comments. Now armed with this knowledge head out and spread it to all code bases.
Feel free to use the code I wrote in your projects.
Link to the source code: https://github.com/raldone01/python_lessons_py/blob/main/lesson_0_comments.ipynb
Image transcription:
from lib import add
# Go ahead and change the comments.
# See how python uses them as arguments.
result = add() # 1 2
print(result)
result = add() # 3 4
print(result)
result = add() # 3 4 5 20
print(result)
Output:
3
7
32
This isn’t standard python.
lib
is not in the standard library. Python also doesn’t have any special variables where it stores comments, other than__doc__
which stores a docstring. If I had to guess,add
is reading the file/REPL via__file__
.Is __doc__ storing a comment or just a text string?
