Comments make it much easier when you have to take over someone else’s code (or they yours) so you know why it was written in such a way or any dependancies that need to be taken into consideration. I also use comments as notes-to-self for future reference in case I want to grab a chunk of code for another project. I also use comments as citations/shout-outs (like if I had help with a section of code from someone).

comments just describe and explain the code so that everyone can understand your program

It is made for readability reasons. Compare and contrast : #first we have a number a=1 #then we multiply by 2 a*=2 #now print the result print(a) Against: a=1 a*=2 print(a) This is a small but easy to understand program but think when you go large.
