Why didn't the above one works ???

Question

I need some help with the function keyword in phyton. I
typed two codes, but one worked and one didn't, even though they are both strings.
Can somebody help me with it.

Answer 1

Xeltion this is because \ is an escape character. Basically it ignores any character that follows it or changes its meaning to a normal string.
for example
normally
print(“””) wouldnt work and give you and eof error, but print(“\””) does work because it ignores the meaning of the middle “

it is in the Python course btw.

Answer 2

Thanks, but why does only a single ' \' didn't work ?
