What to Watch Out for When Creating String Data?
When defining strings in Python, it is not allowed to start with a double quote (") and end with a single quote ('). You must use the same type of quote at the beginning and the end.
-
Correct Usage: "Hello" or 'Hello'
-
Incorrect Usage: "Hello' or 'Hello"
However, if you want to include quotes within a string, you can alternate between using double quotes and single quotes.
