Quotes About Strings

In this chapter, you learned the following:

• Python uses type str to represent text as sequences of characters.

• Strings are created by placing pairs of single quotes ’ or double quotes " around the text.

• ​	'''Should you want a string
  ​	that crosses multiple lines,
  ​	Use matched triple quotes.'''

• Special characters like newline ( ) and tab ( ) are represented using escape sequences that begin with a backslash. For example, ’this string spans three lines’.

• Values can be printed using built-in function print, and input can be provided by the user using built-in function input.
