STRING

                  A sequence  of characters  which is  enclosed  or surrounded  by  single  (' '), double  (" "), or Triple
                  ('''  ''') quotes is known as a string. The sequence may include a letter, number, special characters or
                  a backslash. Python treats single quotes as double quotes.
                  Example of a string:

                       Program3.py

                    File   Edit  Format    Run    Options    Window    Help          Output
                    str = "This is Shweta's pen."                                  This is Shweta's pen.
                    print(str)




                       Creating a Single-line String
                  Single-line  string can be  created  by  enclosing  characters  inside  single  or double  quotes.  It is  like
                  assigning a value to a variable.

                    File   Edit  Format    Run    Options    Window    Help

                    first_name = 'Aadya'
                    print (first_name)
                    last_name = 'Kaushal'                                            Output
                    print (last_name)
                                                                                   Aadya
                    str = ' '
                    print (str)                                                    Kaushal




                       Creating Multiline String

                  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.

                   File  Edit  Format   Run    Options   Window    Help

                   print('''A sequence of
