Is it okay to leave tests in your code? in c/[email protected]

I honestly never realised the terminology was that important (so I never put much effort into remembering any of it). Yes I meant logging. I'm having trouble understanding the rest of what you mean though.

Like if I'm using print statements to test my code. Is it okay to leave stuff like that in there when "publishing" the app/program?

Edit: So I meant logging. Not "tests". Using console.log to see if the code is flowing properly. I'll study up on debugging. Also, based on what I managed to grasp from your very helpful comments, it is not okay to do, but the severity of how much of an issue it is depends on the context? Either that or it's completely avoidable in the first place if I just use "automated testing" or "loggers".

Are docstrings commonly used? in c/[email protected]

Sounds like they're still very relevant and very important. Python isn't a language I've used a lot but I'm still surprised I've never heard about docstrings till this tutorial. Thanks for the info.

Was going through a Python tutorial, but it seems kinda dated. Wanted to know if people regularly use docstrings in the workforce. Or are they somewhat irrelevant because you can convey most of that info via comments and context? Do jobs make you use them?
