💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using single or double quotes instead of triple quotes.

Triple single quotes or triple double quotes can create multi-line strings. Here triple single quotes are used.

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Not escaping the single quote inside single quotes causes an error.

Using mismatched quotes.

A double-quoted string can contain an unescaped single quote (apostrophe) inside. Option A does this correctly and prints: It's a sunny day

C"World"

D"\nWorld"

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Not including the newline character.

Putting the newline character in the wrong place.

The first blank is a string with a newline character at the end. The second blank is the next string. Concatenating them prints Hello on one line and World on the next.

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Forgetting the f prefix.

Not using curly braces around variables.

Using uppercase F instead of lowercase f (both work but only one is correct here).

To create a formatted string, prefix the string with f or F. Inside the string, use curly braces to insert variables. Here, name and age are inserted.
