[Tutor] learning to programming questions part 1

[keith papa]

1. Hi am new to python and I have a few questions: Why if you want to write multiple comment you use triple quotation marks and not the #?
2. I found this code to be interesting to me because it printed an output of [1,2,3,4,5,6,7] and not [1,2,3,4:4,5,6,7] why is that?
Insert two or more elements to an existing list:1
2
3
4
>>> a= [1,2,3,4,7]>>> a[4:4] = [5,6]>>> print a[1,2,3,4,5,6,7]
