Printing

displaying output in Python

Show output using the print(...) function:

print("Hello world")
print('Hello world')

In the above, we could use either single quotes or double quotes (just stick to one consistent set!)

Error!

If we mismatch the quotation marks, an error can happen, e.g.:

print('Let us use mismatched quotation marks")

Output:

  File "script.py", line 1
    print('Let us use mismatched quotation marks")
                                                    ^
SyntaxError: EOL while scanning string literal

While the program yells at us, it also tell us where our code went wrong (the line #)!
