Does /* */ mean anything in python?

Question

Coming from C++, // is used from single line comments, and /* */ is used for multi line comments.

I know // in Python is used for floor division, but I'm curious if /* */ is used for anything in Python?

I'm also curious if there is any way to add multi line comments in Python?

You can try `/*` yourself, it's a syntax error! – jonrsharpe Jun 05 '20 at 09:04 — jonrsharpe, Jun 05 '20 at 09:04

Well you can put it into a file and sure enough:

    /* */
    ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

It doesn't parse.

Use triple quotes to start and close comments:
