' AND " difference?

pythn eg. >>> print('Hello world!') Hello world! Me 1 >>> print( " Hello world! " ) Hello world! Me 2 >>> print(' "Hello world! " ') "Hello world!" Me 3 >>> print( ' Hello world! ") SyntaxError: EOL while scanning string literal If ' and " are the same, why "Me 3" results Error? I don't want to tell my self that they look different or it is the rule...

They aren't same. If you start from " then, you have to close it with this only. See the following example:- print(" ' ' ") # prints ' ' print(' " " ') # prints " " If you will not close it with the same, it will give you an exception(EOL error)
