Multi-line Strings
We have seen how to define a string with single quotes and with double-quotes. If we want a string to span multiple lines, we can also use triple quotes:
address_string = """136 Whowho Rd
Apt 7
Whosville, WZ 44494"""
This address spans multiple lines, and is still contained in one variable,
address_string.
When a string like this is not assigned to a variable, it works as a multi-line comment. This can be helpful as your code gets more complex:
"""The following piece of code does the following steps:
takes in some input
does An Important Calculation
returns the modified input and a string that says "Success!" or "Failure..."
"""
... a complicated piece of code here...
