Answer 1

You should not use a regular string literal as comment. Even if it is valid syntax, but semantically misplaced and confusing. Follow the PEP8 guidelines.

Python

Answer 3

Fꫀⲅძ᥆͟ᥙ᥉᯽ It's probably SoloLearn's bug. I tried the code on my IDE but it didnt ask user to input anything.

Answer 4

But it's still taking input from multi-line input

Answer 5

In python the comments should be written in hashtag #️⃣ not in single quote

Answer 6

Read the yellow box in second lesson to know about it

Answer 7

It's also a valid way of commenting.

Answer 8

I think this happens because of the using RegEx in Playground, and if your code contains any "input" word followed by an open parenthesis, causes the input box to show.
Check below commands separately:
print(" Word input with open parenthesis :( ")
print(" Word input with close parenthesis :) ")

Answer 9

Fꫀⲅძ᥆͟ᥙ᥉᯽ it’s not a Sololearn bug, because DOCSTRING is NOT a COMMENT.
The text (code) in the ‘’’ ‘’’ partly executes. But the text (code) after # Doesn’t executes. Python hasn’t got multiline comments like C (not ++).

Answer 10

This is not a way of commenting.

Answer 11

I fixed the comment

Answer 12

Artin Azari So, they used regular expression in the code playground? Does this happen to other online compiler, as well?

Answer 13

Artin Azari the comment "#input()" will stop the code playground from asking user for input, I checked.

Answer 14

Yes, my guess is that regex is used, but I don't know about other online IDEs.
And about the comment using character #, sorry, I made a mistake.

Answer 15

😲😲😲😨😨😨a very BIG bug you should report that to the sololearn...

Answer 16

That's not how you use comment.
For one line comment, use '#'.
For multi-line, I think you can use (" " "), or (' ' ').

Answer 17

Ok

Answer 18

Putting # before a = input() like
#a = input()
Is not asking for input so it's not a sololearn bug

Answer 19

Try to remove the input in the comment it will not ask for writting something.
so it's surely a sololearn bug
