I thought that was becouse the " ' becouse i thaught that a string need to be inside " ". is that right?

The question showed that the statement print is ("Hello, World')

But my doubt is that possible to put a string between " and '. because I thought it needed to be used with the same punctuation and in c ++ when you put the word between 'T' it means a character.

Hey,

in Python a string can be defined both by single quotes (') and double quotes (") main thing is consistency when assigning it. So both of these would work:

string1 = "string"
string2 = 'string'

But when trying using different quotes for the same string you will get a syntax error.

Hope this helps!
