printing " and ' in python [duplicate]

Question

How can I print this ('''""") in Python?

I tried this but I got error:

print("'''"""")

and I tried this but I got error:

print(""""""'''"""""")

The term you're searching for is "escaping". Read the Python documentation, how to escape a quote character in the middle of a string can be found there. — Ulrich Eckhardt

Welcome to SO! @Ulrich Eckhardt's comment should help you solve your problem, but my suggestions for future questions are: 1) use the formatting tools for your code (see meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/251361/…) 2) provide more information about the actual error messages you are seeing. — teejay

You can put a backslash character followed by a quote (\" or \').

This is called an escape sequence and Python will remove the backslash, and put just the quote in the string.

print("'''\"\"\"")
# or
print('\'\'\'"""')

I rolled back to my edit because you don't need to escape both kinds of quotes in the string, and I wanted to demonstrate that you can use either kind of quotes for the string delimiters.
