Here are the different ways to manipulate strings. print("saga") print("'saga'") print('saga') print('"saga"') print("\"saga\"") print('\'saga\'')

When you define a string, for example... x = 'Hello' ... the quotes are just used to tell Python: Please make a string! The actual string is just: Hello And if you use print, this is all you get. When you are in an interpreter session, where every line of code is executed automatically, every value will be shown on the screen. You don't see the actual string (which is still just Hello) but a representation of that string. Just as a tuple will always look like this... (1, 2, 3) ... and a list like this... [1, 2, 3] ... a string always has the same representation, with single quotes, even if you have defined it with double or even triple quotes. You can test that with different ways of defining a string: a = 'Hello' b = "Hello" c = '''Hello''' d = """Hello""" for string in a, b, c, d: print(repr(string))

Because by default console output shows string into single quotes. >>>a = "Python is fun" >>>a 'Python is fun' >>>print(a) Python is fun >>>str(a) 'Python is fun'
