# the backslash \ is above the enter button on your keyboard
# \ inside of a string means a special character is coming
# special characters mean nothing outside of strings
# \t is a tab
a = "a\tb\tc\td" # a    b   c   d
b = "\"Air quotes\" are annoying" # \" can let us have a quote in our string without ending it
c = "Hello\n\nGoodbye" # \n is new line and counts as 1 character - end this line and start output on new line
d = '\\' # can use \ to escape the \ to type a backslash

# looking up python \ escape sequence should give you all the special characters
# ALL \ special characters count as 1 character
# any special characters you need in this class will be provided

print( "a:", a )
print( "b:", b )
print( "c:", c )

na = len( a )
nb = len( b )
nc = len( c )

print( "len( a ):", na )
print( "len( b ):", nb )

# why use \t instead of hitting tab? it's easier and everything lines up better

# the print() function can print out strings, integers, floats, just about anything we give to it
x = "Ryan" + str( nc ) # str() casts anything to a string
