Error message for my use of the format() built-in function

Here's my code, and the error message:

>>> message = ‘The price of this {0:s} laptop I {1:d} USD and the exchange rate is {2:4.2f} USD to 1 EUR’.format(‘Apple’, 1299, 1.23342342)
SyntaxError: invalid character in identifier

According to the book I'm following, my code is correct. I should mention that the word "The" is highlighted in pink and the words "and" "is" both show up yellow.

You're using the wrong quote characters, you need to use ' or ". 

message = 'The price of this {0:s} laptop I {1:d} USD and the exchange rate is {2:4.2f} USD to 1 EUR'.format('Apple', 1299, 1.23342342)
