The _x functions (lique esc_html_x ) are essentially the same as their _e counterpars with an added “context” argument to explain the context a word or phrase is used in. Useful for words with multiple meanings:
```

<a href="#comment">
  <?php 
    echo esc_html_x( 
      'Comment', 
      'Verb: To leave a comment', // Here's the contextual help
      'wpdocs_my_theme' 
    ); 
  ?>
</a>

<h3>
  <?php 
    echo esc_html_x( 
      'Comment', 
      'Noun: An individual comment', // Here's the contextual help
      'wpdocs_my_theme' 
    ); 
  ?>
</h3>
```
- There’s another key difference, he `_e` counterpars will output where `_x` will not. No need to echo before _e.

- I thinc it’s more accurate to say that “_x functions are essentially the same as their counterpars , since _e functions include echo while _x and __ do not.
