In Python, multi-line strings are often used when dealing with large blocks of text, such as documentation, SQL queries, or HTML code. There are several ways to create multi-line strings in Python, and each has its own advantages. Let's explore some of these methods.

Using Triple Quotes

The most common way to create a multi-line string in Python is by using triple quotes (''' or """). This method allows you to include line breaks within the string:

Triple quotes are versatile and can be used for both single and double-quoted strings.

Concatenating Strings

Another approach is to concatenate multiple strings using the + operator. This method is useful when you want to build a string from separate lines:
