Hi there,
I am asking myself if I should preferably use single or double quotes
for strings?
If I need a single quote in a string I would use double quotes for the
whole string and vice versa. For f-strings I mostly see double
quotes but single quotes would work as well I think.
Is there a recommendation?
Nothing strong. I tend to use double quotes because I have a
background in C (where double quotes are for strings, single quotes
for characters), and double quotes are the recommendation for
docstrings (see PEP 258). If you tend to work a lot with SQL, you
might prefer single quotes. Use whatever makes you happy.
Have been finding myself doing somewhat the opposite:
"a literal string"
f'a string featuring computation of { result }'
(never managed to make it as far as C in my alphabet skills, but yes,
maybe SQL influences)
@Chris: are you on the night-shift?
