MCQ IN COMPUTER SCIENCE & ENGINEERING

Detailed explanation-1: -Python provides an in-built feature called docstrings for commenting on modules, methods, functions, objects, and classes. They are written in the first line after defining a module, function, method, etc., using three quotation marks (” or “”).

Detailed explanation-2: -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.

Detailed explanation-3: -Standard conventions to write single-line docstrings: The closing quotes are on the same line as the opening quotes. There’s no blank line either before or after the docstring. They should not be descriptive, rather they must follow “Do this, return that” structure ending with a period.

Detailed explanation-4: -A Python docstring is a string used to document a Python module, class, function or method, so programmers can understand what it does without having to read the details of the implementation. Also, it is a common practice to generate online (html) documentation automatically from docstrings.

Detailed explanation-5: -Unlike string comments, docstrings are meant to be read by the public. They provide an insight into how to use functions, classes, and modules. This makes it easier for other programmers to learn how to use the module in their own projects.
