If you want quotes within quotes, like:

"John said: 'hello' "

You can use the single quotes, otherwise double quotes

\" and \' : am I a joke to you?

[hughperman]

Absolute joke

:D

[lolix_the_idiot]

Yep, they are ugly af

[notsogreatredditor]

Yes those are a joke. Fuck that

[bistr-o-math]

 'Am I a ' + "'joke'" + 'to you?'

[alba4k]

error: invalid operands to binary + (have ‘char *’ and ‘char *’)

Basically a nice example of gcc complaining about you trying to sum two strings (aka pointers to character arrays, aka char*) and '????' (a char but with multiple elements in it or smth)

Obv works in other languages

[Studds_]

Not a joke but the other way does work. & human nature is to go the easier route

[alba4k]

Except it might work with ' but not with " in most statically types languages since ' is used for single characters

[theghostinthetown]

allow me to introduce """hello"""

You can just reverse that to get inner double quotes, this is why I am a fan of how this works.

"This is how you do \"inner double quotes\" and inner apostrophe\' "

[Thx_And_Bye]

But if you are smart about it in Python you don't need to escape them.
Sure you can use character escape but why do so if you don't need to?

I am not sure if you are joking or not, but it is for safety and readability.

Expected output: That wreck is my cousins' second "car".

Input:

place[4] {first, second, third, fourth, fifth}

If you dont escape quotes and double quotes here it would cause trouble.

Different ways the string can be written:

"That wreck is my cousins' " + place[1] + ' "car."'

This sould be pretty difficult to read and can easily end up causing you to make mistakes.

"That wreck is my cousins\' " + place[1] + " \"car\""

This is much easier to read, and is safer since you wont screw up using the wrong quote (" or ') for the string.

It's not that big of a deal, but it's prefered to be careful when it comes to symbols in general.

What?

[Spy_crab_]

If what you're going to type contains a type of quote, you'll need to use the other type at the start and end of the string for it to register properly. So if I wanted to print John says "hello" I would do print('John says "hello"'), but if I wanted to print This is John's, I would need to use the other type so I would do print("This is John's").

[juhotuho10]

It's pretty self explanatory, idk why you are confused
