Strings: Literals, Methods, Formatting, and Unicode
String Literals: Single, Double, Triple, Raw, and Byte Prefixes In Python, string literals are sequences of characters enclosed by quotes. The choice of delimiter and prefix fundamentally changes how the interpreter processes the contents, making this a critical foundational concept. Single-Quoted vs. Double-Quoted Strings Python treats single quotes (') and double quotes (") as functionally identical delimiters. This design is primarily for convenience, allowing you to easily include one type of quote within the string without escaping it. The interpreter does not assign any semantic difference to the strings based on the delimiter used.
