[NumPy-style docstrings](https://numpydoc.readthedocs.io/en/latest/format.html) are a standard format for writing docstrings in Python popularized by the NumPy community and used in other scientific computing packages. [Sphinx](https://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/), a [[documentation generator]], reads NumPy-style docstrings. See [here](https://sphinxcontrib-napoleon.readthedocs.io/en/latest/example_numpy.html) for lots of examples. Below is the general form of a NumPy-style docstring. ```python def my_function(): """ Briefly describe the function in the imperative mood. Long description... Parameters ---------- param1: int The first parameter. Returns ------- bool True if successful, false otherwise. """ # No blank line after doc string ```
