1. Commenting

Comments are ways for the user to store information without passing it through the language. Commenting is the easiest in Simpl-Py (fact). In every other language, you have to use a character(s) to begin a comment (usually # or //). In Simpl-Py, all you have to do is just type any non-command value. The language ignores any input that is not a command. For example:

>> this is a comment
>> these don't do anything
>> 

2. Invalid Comments

While this may seem great, there are still some limitations. If you start a comment with a command, Simpl-Py will try to find the command and fail:

>> print_this is a comment
{S-016x} - Print Handler Error
>> this will work though. print_hey
>> 

You also cannot start a comment with an operator. The operators are . and _ (we will look at operators later). Doing this will return other errors.
