Description

Looking at the guide I came across this example:

# Yes:

# Number of nodes to predict. Again, an issue with the workflow order. Should be updated
# after data is fetched.
p = 1

# No:

p = 1  # Number of nodes to predict. Again, an issue with the workflow order. Should be
# updated after data is fetched.

What are peoples thoughts on this style:

#=
Number of nodes to predict. Again, an issue with the workflow order. Should be
updated after data is fetched. 
=#
p = 1
