# Copy + run this code in CodePlayground # Try removing a \ and see what happens. # same types, messy print( "Text with \"double\" quotes") print( 'Text with \'single\' quotes' ) # Less messy print( "Text with 'single' ..." ) print( 'Text with "double"...' ) # Wnen you need it print( """ This "docstring's" got 'em both!

The "\" character is the "escape" character. If you had a string in single quotes ( ' <- these): string = 'hi' and wanted to add some single quotes in there, for example: string = 'hi, I am Amy's friend' ^ then Python would be confused as to where the string ends, assuming it ends at the ' in "Amy's" instead of at the one after friend. This is where the "\" comes in: string = 'hi, I am Amy\'s friend'
