Do I need “”“/”“”? What do they do? [duplicate]
This question already has an answer here:
String literal with triple quotes in function definitions
6 answers
One little part of my code is:
def check_bullet_alien_collisions(ai_settings, screen, ship, aliens, bullets):
"""Respond to bullet-alien collisions.""" # <-- this line
collisions = pygame.sprite.groupcollide(bullets, aliens, False, True)
if len(aliens) == 0:
bullets.empty()
create_fleet(ai_settings, screen, ship, aliens)
The second line, do I need those three sets of quotes? If so what are they used for?

These triple quotes are used to write multiple-lines comments, like:
""" This variable represents collisions:
it is used to respond to collisions
between bullets and aliens.
"""
You can also use triple single quotes '''/''' for that. Otherwise, you would need to write # in each comment line, like this:
# This variable represents collisions:
# it is used to respond to collisions
# between bullets and aliens.
In your case, since you have only one comment line, you can use the # approach instead, like this:
# Respond to bullet-alien collisions.
Hope this helps.
