LPTHW - Exercise 9: Printing, Printing, Printing
Simple copy and print here but a few things we haven't seen before - namely those \n things in the months variable string.
When running the script the output on the months variable are displayed on separate lines, so those \n things obviously indicate a newline/carriage return be inserted.
I guess this is a way to get new lines on a string enclosed by single or double quotes, i.e. a way of doing it without using triple quotes and manually setting up the format youself.
days = "Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri Sat Sun"
months = "\nJan\nFeb\nMar\nApr\nMay\nHun\nJul\nAug"
print("Here are the days: ", days)
print("Here are the months: ", months)
print("""
There's something going on here.
With the three double-quotes.
We'll be able to type as much as we like.
Even 4 lines if we want, or 5, or 6.
