Learn Python the Hard Way: A Deceptively Simple Introduction to the Terrifyingly Beautiful World of Computers and Data Science, 5th Edition

Exercise 9

Multi-Line Strings

By now you should realize the pattern for this book is to use more than one exercise to teach you something new. I start with code that you might not understand, and then more exercises explain the concept. If you don’t understand something now, you will later as you complete more exercises. Write down what you don’t understand, and keep going.
