Triple-quote strings

Triple quotes (""" or ''') let you write multi-line strings:

message = """Line 1
Line 2
Line 3"""
print(message)

This way you do not need \n; line breaks inside the string are preserved. It is handy for long messages and docstrings.

A triple-quoted string on the first line of a function or class becomes a docstring. It explains what the function does:

def greet(name):
    """Greets the user."""
    return f"Hello {name}"

The docstring is shown with help(greet). We'll cover this in the functions group.

Assign a triple-quoted string to message: """Line 1 Line 2""". Then print print(message).
