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.
