Python allows programmers to pass additional arguments to functions via comments. Now armed with this knowledge head out and spread it to all code bases.

Feel free to use the code I wrote in your projects.

Link to the source code: https://github.com/raldone01/python_lessons_py/blob/main/lesson_0_comments.ipynb

Image transcription:

from lib import add

# Go ahead and change the comments.
# See how python uses them as arguments.

result = add()  # 1 2
print(result)
result = add()  # 3 4
print(result)
result = add()  # 3 4 5 20
print(result)

Output:

3
7
32

    That’s horrible. Every sane person would filter out lines containing comments to find the correct index.

      This should be a build step. Preprocess before the preprocessor. All line number will be off depending on the comments. 😂

      Unless…

      C with source maps!!! Thank js for the cool solution.
