Output of multi-line string with triple quotes

What is the output of this Python code?

Python

text = '''Hello
World
Python'''
print(text)

A Hello\nWorld\nPython

B Hello World Python

C

Hello
World
Python

D Hello\ World\ Python

💡 Hint

Triple quotes preserve new lines inside the string.

Triple quotes allow writing strings on multiple lines. The \n inside the string is interpreted as a new line, so print outputs three lines.

Output of multiple print statements

What will be printed by this code?

Python

print('Line 1')
print('Line 2')
print('Line 3')

A Line 1 Line 2 Line 3

B Line 1\nLine 2\nLine 3

C Line 1, Line 2, Line 3

D

Line 1
Line 2
Line 3

💡 Hint

Each print outputs a new line by default.

Each print statement outputs text followed by a new line, so the output is three lines with one line each.

Output of multi-line string with escape sequences

What is the output of this code?

Python

text = """First line
Second line	Tabbed
Third line"""
print(text)

A First line\nSecond line\tTabbed\nThird line

B

First line
Second line	Tabbed
Third line

C First line Second line Tabbed Third line

D First line\ Second line\ Tabbed\ Third line

💡 Hint

Escape sequences like \n and \t are interpreted inside triple quotes.

The \n creates new lines and \t adds a tab space in the output.

Identify the error in multi-line string usage

What error does this code raise?

Python

text = '''This is a multi-line string
without closing quotes
print(text)

A SyntaxError

B TypeError

C IndentationError

D NameError

💡 Hint

Check if all quotes are properly closed.

The triple quotes are not closed, so Python raises a SyntaxError.

🧠 Conceptual

expert

How many lines does this multi-line string contain?

How many lines will the variable 'text' contain after this code runs?

Python

text = '''Line1
Line2

Line4'''

A 4

B 3

C 2

D 5

💡 Hint

Count all lines including empty ones created by \n.

The string has Line1, Line2, an empty line (because of \n\n), and Line4, so 4 lines total.
