- Strings in Python can be represented by wrapping them by using ’ ’ (single quotes), " “(double quotes), or ’’’ ’’’ (triple quotes)
'This is Hello World using single quotes.'
"This is Hello World using double quotes."
"""This is Hello World using
triple quotes
This is also called multi-line strings."""
- To display the string as an output to the screen I can use Python bulit-in function, print()
print('This is Hello World using single quotes.')
print("This is Hello World using double quotes.")
print("""This is Hello World using
triple quotes
This is also called multi-line strings.""")
- There will be a syntax error if I’m using an apostrophe in a string that is wrapped by single quotes, likewise I also will get a syntax error when I use quotes in a string that is wrapped by double quotes.
print('I'am using an aposthrope here.')
- This error can be prevent by using the escape character \ (backslash). Without the backslash, the apostrophe and quotes are seen by Python as the end of the string.
print('I\'am using an aposthrope here.')
print("I am using \"quotes here\" in a string wrapped by double quotes.")
