How to use quotation marks inside quotation marks with Python?
To use quotation marks inside quotation marks with Python, we can wrap single quotes around double quotes and vice versa, or we can escape single quotes in single quotes or escape double quotes in double quotes.
We can also use quotes within triple quoted strings.
For instance, we write:
print('"A word that needs quotation marks"')
print("'A word that needs quotation marks'")
print("\"A word that needs quotation marks\"")
print('\'A word that needs quotation marks\'')
print("""\"A word that needs quotation marks\"""")
In the first 2 strings, we wrap single quotes around double quotes and vice versa.
We escaped the quotes in the last 3 strings.
Therefore, we should see:
"A word that needs quotation marks"
'A word that needs quotation marks'
"A word that needs quotation marks"
'A word that needs quotation marks'
"A word that needs quotation marks"
printed.
Conclusion
