Escape from double quotes in a string in Python
Wrong way:
Python3
print ( "He said, " he likes python"") |
Output:
print("He said, "he likes python"") ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax
Right way:
Instead of using double quotations, enclose the string in single quotes.
Python3
print ( 'He said, "he likes python"' ) |
Output:
He said, "he likes python"
Before the double quotation in the string, insert the escape character.
Python3
print ( "He said, \"he likes python\"" ) |
Output:
He said, "he likes python"
