I am still confused with (\", \') backslash escape characters in python. What is the use of these characters in python?

Question

I also searched many queries related to this topic but still failed to understand.

Answer 1

So, you need to tell python that you don't want to close the string at 'don', you need to escape it, by putting a backslash. Then python knows that it doesn't have to close the string there:

'Don\'t'

Answer 2

But how would python know what you want? 'don' looks like a string too.

Answer 3

Welcome :)

Answer 4

print("He said, 'These are quotation marks in python("") '. ")

In this, the string becomes:

He said, 'These are quotation marks in python(

Because the quotation ends the line. In these cases, escape characters are used:

print("He said, 'These are quotation marks in python(\"\") '. ")

Output:
He said, 'These are quotation marks in python("") '.

Answer 5

a = 'Don't!'
In this, what do you expect the value of a?
Don't
or
Don
?
If you forget the part t!', doesn't 'don' seem like a complete string?
