a. Docstring is a string that appears at the beginning of a module, function, class, or method definition. The docstring passed in this way becomes a special __doc__ attribute for this object. For consistency, use """triple quotes""" around the docstring.
b. Docstring is a Python-built class for creating text documents.
c. Docstring is a string that appears at the beginning of a module, function, class, or method definition. The docstring passed in this way becomes a special __name__ attribute for this object. For consistency, use """triple quotes""" around the docstring.
