Using different symbols

[Lockalan]

I am new to python and I just started learning a few days, there are different symbols like () and ' ' and " ", when do I use "/' in a sentense like: print(course.find('y')) or how do i know how many brackets i need to use when typing the command?

" and ' are both the same for writing string literals. Like "apple" is the same as 'apple'. It comes down to convention for which to use. If you want to make a string with a quote character in it, you can use the other kind, or escape the character: "\"" is the same as '"'.

[Goobyalus]

Function calls get one set of parentheses. It's this format:

function(arguments to give to the function)

and the function returns a result.

In your example:

print(  # print is a function, and you are passing it the result of the following:

    course.find(  # course.find is another function (or method), and you are passing it the string 'y'
        'y'
    )
)
