python line continuation character \&'''........'''

A continuation character cannot be followed by a space:

[python]  view plain copy  

1. print( 'a'\  
2.       'b')  

Output result:

[html]  view plain copy  

1. away  

[python]  view plain copy  

1. print( 'a'\   
2.       'b')  

Output result:

[html]  view plain copy  

1. File "C:/Users/Administrator/untitled2.py", line 8  
2.    print( 'a'\  
3.                ^  
4. yntaxError: unexpected character after line continuation character  

In short, after writing the continuation character, nothing can appear after the continuation character, and a new line must be made (the content must be written in a new line):

[python]  view plain copy  

1. print( 'a'\'c'  
2.       'b')  

Output result:

[html]  view plain copy  

1. File "C:/Users/Administrator/untitled2.py", line 8  
2.    print( 'a'\'c'  
3.                  ^  
4. yntaxError: unexpected character after line continuation character  

[python]  view plain copy  

1. print( 'a'\\  
2.       'b')  

Output result:

[html]  view plain copy  

1. File "C:/Users/Administrator/untitled2.py", line 8  
2.    print( 'a'\\  
3.                ^  
4. yntaxError: unexpected character after line continuation character  

[python]  view plain copy
