So when I try to do quotation marks in python like this '' they seem to end up like this ' ' why is that? How do I fix this?

Which one are you typing?

Typing ' twice is not the same as typing " (Shift + ')

You need to find your keyboard shortcut for the real dual quotations symbol- two singles together will never be the same thing.

Like I said, typing ' twice is not the same as ".

Maybe try shift + 8, seeing as shift + ' prints an *

 

If you're trying to print something with quotation marks, then this might help

#You can use an \ before the second quotation mark so that is prints sentence with them.

print("\"Example\"")

#This is how the example above prints
"Example"

#Or you can use these methods
print("\'Example\'")
print('\"Example\"')
