Questions and Answers
Consider the following code:
text = "Hello\nWorld!"
Why might printing text not display 'Hello' and 'World!' on separate lines as expected?
Consider the following code:
text = "Hello\nWorld!"
Why might printing text not display 'Hello' and 'World!' on separate lines as expected?
- The `\n` escape sequence is only valid within triple-quoted strings.
- The string was not stored to a variable before printing.
- The print function automatically removes escape sequences for security reasons.
- The environment interpreting the string may not recognize `\n` as a newline character. (correct)
What is the most significant difference between a string containing a number (e.g., "123") and an integer with the same value (e.g., 123)?
What is the most significant difference between a string containing a number (e.g., "123") and an integer with the same value (e.g., 123)?
- Strings are immutable, while integers are mutable.
- Mathematical operations can be directly performed on integers, while strings require parsing to be used numerically. (correct)
- Strings can be used in mathematical operations without explicit conversion.
- Integers consume more memory than strings.
Which of the following is a valid reason for using multiline strings in Python?
Which of the following is a valid reason for using multiline strings in Python?
- To define docstrings for functions and classes. (correct)
- To bypass the character limit on individual lines of code.
- To enable the use of special characters not allowed in single-line strings.
- To improve the performance of string concatenation operations.

Study Notes
Strings
- A string is a piece of information enclosed in quotation marks.
- Strings can be declared using either single or double quotes.
- Strings can consist of multiple words.
- Strings can include numbers.
- Strings are also known as string literals.
Substring
- A substring is a portion of an existing string.
Strings Holding Numbers
- Strings can contain only numbers.
- Strings that contain what looks like integers are still considered strings.
- Trying to perform mathematical operations on strings that look like numbers can cause errors, so it is important to convert them to the correct data type.
Multiline Strings
- Multiline strings can hold large amounts of text that span multiple lines of code.
- Multiline strings are created using three sets of quotes (either double or single) before and after the text.
