Let's try modifying the script so that it displays s = ABC 123 instead of just ABC 123 in the terminal. That way, you'll know that the terminal is displaying the contents of the s variable you created. This is very useful in a script that has many variables!
# first_string_try_this from microbit import * sleep(1000) s = "ABC 123" print("s =", s)
This script has some of the fancier strings that were discussed earlier. s1 is multiline, s2 is a single line that has been split across multiple lines in the Python editor. S3 is a string in double-quotes that contains a couple of single quotes. S4 has three escape characters, \t for tab, \' for a single quote, and \n for the invisible character that advances the cursor to the next line.
# first_string_your_turn from microbit import * sleep(1000) s1 = """s1 is a string with more than one line enclosed by three double-quotes.""" s2 = "s2 is a string with only one line "\ "that has been split into multiple "\ "lines to fit in your code editor. "\ s3 = "s3 is in double-quotes but 'contains' single-quotes." s4 = 's4 has tab \t apostrophe \', and newline \n...for next line.' print(s1) print(s2) print(s3) print(s4)
Keep in mind that some of the lines might wrap depending on the width of the browser and possibly due to settings inside the terminal.
