Program 1: To create a string.















                      Multiline Strings

                 A multiline string in Python begins and ends with either three single quotes or three double quotes.
                 Any quotes, tabs, or newlines in between the “triple quotes” are considered part of the string.


                      Using Escape Sequences with Strings

                 Escape  sequences or characters are used  to  insert special  characters that  are invalid in Python.
                 Quotes are special characters and to insert them in a string we must escape them with a \ character
                 in front of them.
                 An escape sequence is a sequence of characters that does not represent itself when used inside a

                 character or string. It is typically used to specify actions such as carriage returns and tab movements.
                 The backslash (\) is a special character and is also known as the escape character in Python. It is used
                 to represent white space characters, for example, '\t' for tab, '\n' for new line, and '\r' is for carriage
                 return.
