I'm learning Python because I think is an awesome and powerful language like C++, perl or C# but is really really easy at same time. I'm using JetBrains' Pycharm and when I define a function it ask me to add a "Documentation String Stub" when I click yes it adds something like this:
"""
"""
so the full code of the function is something like this:
def otherFunction(h, w):
"""
"""
hello = h
world = w
full_word = h + ' ' + w
return full_word
I would like to know what these (""" """) symbols means, Thanks.
""" """ is the escape sequence for strings spanning several lines in python.
When put right after a function or class declaration they provide the documentation for said function/class (they're called docstrings)
