Quotation Marks
Strings can be enclosed in either single quotes ('...')
or double quotes ("...")
. However, if you need to use quotes inside your string, you must be careful to avoid syntax errors.
# This will raise a syntax error due to the apostrophe inside single quotes transaction_note = 'Today's payment was delayed' print(transaction_note)
Python interprets the apostrophe '
in "Today's"
as the end of the string, which causes confusion in the rest of the line.
Correct Ways to Use Quotes Within Strings
Use double quotes outside if the string contains an apostrophe:
# Using double quotes allows us to include an apostrophe safely transaction_note = "Today's payment was delayed" print(transaction_note)
Use single quotes outside if the string contains double quotes:
# Using single quotes to include a quote in the text audit_remark = 'The client said: "We will send the invoice tomorrow."' print(audit_remark)
Use triple quotes to include both types of quotation marks
Triple quotes ('''...'''
or """..."""
) are often used for multi-line text, but they are also useful when a string contains both single and double quotes:
# Triple quotes allow both single and double quotation marks financial_summary = """Today's report includes the note: "Check the 'Q1' revenue drop." """ print(financial_summary)
Practical Accounting Example
# Correct use of quotes to log an accountant's comment comment = "The accountant's note: 'Double-check the tax deduction before approval.'" print(comment) # Using triple quotes to format a longer, multi-line report comment report_comment = """ Manager's instructions: - Review the 'Accounts Receivable' section. - Confirm with the accountant: "Is the write-off policy still valid?" """ print(report_comment)
This approach ensures your strings are syntactically correct and improves code readability, especially when working with real-world financial data that may include quotations in documentation or remarks.

The sentence below contains both single quotes and regular text. To make it a valid string in Python, add the correct quotation marks around the sentence. You can use one of the methods described earlier (double quotes outside, or triple quotes).
