Python grammar (apostrophe) SOLVED

I’m having trouble finding the lesson where it tells me how to insert an apostrophe to a printed sentence in Python. Any help would be appreciated. I’ve just started to learn to code and I’m just trying to get the basics down right now. https://code.sololearn.com/cvZgC181yDip/?ref=app

You have to escape it by putting a backslash before it like this: print 'It\'s friday!'

You would have to write spam+'\' s '+eggs or if this is confusing for your eyes, you can use another set of quotation marks on the outside: print("It's friday.") This way, the single ' is read as a character without using that \.

Can that work with a variable? If I put : spam= ‘it’ eggs= ‘friday’ print (spam\’s + eggs) would it allow me to do that?

Eliza Shoop Look at the example again, you'll notice a difference
