Why does a set of double quote comment have effect on real code-CodePudding

This is the code which be reported error unexpexted indentation(because of the comment your code here double quoted)

    while score0 < goal and score1 < goal:
        if  who == 0:
            num_rolls = strategy0(score0, score1)
            score0  = take_turn(num_rolls, score1, dice)
            who = other(who) if extra_turn(score0, score1) == False else who
        else:
            num_rolls = strategy1(score1, score0)
            score1  = take_turn(num_rolls, score0, dice)
            who = other(who) if extra_turn(score1, score0) == False else who    
    "*** YOUR CODE HERE ***"    
        say=say(score0,score1)

when I delete the "*** YOUR CODE HERE ***" (same indentation level of while) ,everything works fine. I wonder why is that,and a interesting fact is that when the comment exists ,last line code say=say(score0,score1) is not in the scope of while.

By the way ,I have never seen a comment with a set of double quote(" ").Maybe common format of comment is like """ """ or #

CodePudding user response：

That isn't a comment, it's a string literal

CodePudding user response：

It still works because it is a string, or more specifically a string literal:

A string literal or anonymous string is a type of literal for the representation of a string value in the source code of a computer program. Source

Putting a string like so in the code does absolute nothing, unless put in a function or assignment.
