Printing a string of text using double quotes

print(''What is "program"?'')

I'm required to use double quotations either 2 apostrophes ('') or 2 quotation marks ("") to print this string, but the quotes on program creates a syntax error. I tried using backslash before the " to ignore them, but that doesn't work either

Using Triple Quote is the most easiest way without remembering where to put extra / Try This:

print('''What is "program"?''')

You have two options for printing double quotes in Python.

  • You can use the escape character(\) to escape the double quotes, telling Python that they are not "special":

    print("What is the \"program\"")

  • Or you can take advantage of the fact that single quoted strings can contain double quotes and their is no need to escape them:

    print('What is the "program"')
