Difference between ' and " ?

so these tutorials I'm going through seem to use ' and " (single and double quotes) interchangeably when dealing with strings. I know there is a difference in C, but does it matter for Python? if it was explained anywhere, I missed it. Thanks!

Nope, no difference. You may use them alternatively, if you need to enclose an apostrophe or quotes and don't want to escape them. So both: print("Let's go!") and print('She said: "Go away!" and left.') will be fine.

If you use one, you can output the other without a backslash, there isn't another differences I think

' and " are interchangeable in Python, both can be use without giving an error
