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.

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:

A lot of languages expose it for debugging purposes. It’s available in pretty much every mainstream language (though in some it’s a little more involved, like Java’s
new Exception().getStackTrace()[0].getLineNumber()).
