Answer 1

Marian ,

In first statement for accessing quotation mark you have to use backslash (\) before quotation mark....

And in if condition for checking you have to use (==)...it is the correct syntax ...
If one equal sign means it indicates... assigning value to the variable....

Answer 2

Brian yeah you are right bro... thank you so much...since I missed it...

Exactly if the whole string is enclosed within single quote means my statement is valid...
Since within double quotes so no backslash needed...

Answer 3

The first error is in line 2.

print("age: 1")<74 spaces>friend = input(...

All those spaces are unnecessary, and it needs a newline before friend.

The second problem, as mentioned by Riya, is using the assignment operator (=) instead of the equality comparison operator (==) in the if conditional. That's a very common mistake that nearly all programmers make - from beginner to pro!

(FYI, "wants" is misspelled.)

And finally, there is a missing colon (:) from the end of the if statement.

Answer 4

Riya, the single quote does not need to have a backslash escape. The whole string is delimited by a pair of double quotes, so a single quote may embedded inside without having to escape it. The reverse holds true as well: you can embed a double quote inside a pair of single quotes without having to escape the double quote. That is the reason behind being able to use either type of quote mark for strings.

Answer 5

Than you
