use of \n

I entered "Hello\nWorld" to go to a new line using IDLE Python 3.5.2 Shell. All I got after pressing enter was 'Hello\nWorld'. What did I do wrong?

the compiler is reading it as a whole string. if you're trying to use an end line try splitting it up your output. so output "Hello" '\n' "World". I'm not super-familiar with python, but usually '\n' is treated as a single character, not a string (like when you say "\n", the computer outputs exactly what you say within the quotation marks).
