Character and String
Character refers to a sign humans use to represent letters, numbers, and other symbols.
A, B, 1 are all characters.
In Python, if you surround whatever symbol with '' or "", it is a string.
Saving string data
All strings have to be inside of quotes.
1 is not a string because it is not surrounded by quotes.
Note that strings inside the quotation marks should be in one-line.
The example below shows us an error when the strings are on a seperate line.
The variable a is correctly formatted and saved while the variable b is not.
Multi Line String
To use multi-line syntax, there are multiple ways to achieve this.
- Simply use multiple
print()statement - Use the escape character
\n(Escape Character) to create a new line. - Use triple quotes
