Using Comments in VEXcode IQ with Python

Comments are usually added to projects to explain what a programmer wanted parts of the program to do. Comments are helpful when collaborating and troubleshooting, as they document what the code does without having to reread and comprehend many lines of code. Other programmers can read the comments to understand the code's functionality, and the original programmer can remember what their code does after revisiting a project.
