I'm confused about the triple quotations making \n in the output. What is it for?

Triple quotes are mostly used as multiline comments, although it's not their real application. Those are string literals, meaning they store a string inside it *exactly* how it is written - kind of a Python replica of the HTML <pre></pre> tag. Check it out - without those triples I would have to count the spaces and lines and try to fit those string adequately line after line: https://code.sololearn.com/cwjsOELw9656/?ref=app

triple quotations themselves are showing comment myVar = 1 '''This is a 1st line of comment myVar = 42''' print (myVar) would print 1
