Python: Multi-line strings
Imagine that we need to define a string that consists of several lines - that is, there are string translations \n inside. For example, it would look like this:
text = 'Example of a text,\nconsisting of\nfew lines'The line will look very different in print:
Example text,
consisting of
several linesFor such situations Python has another way of creating strings called multi-line strings. To describe such a "multi-line string", you need to put it in triple quotes — """ or '''. Inside the multi-line you can transfer the text and not use a line break \n:
text = ''' Example text,
consisting of
several lines
'''Example text,
consisting of
several linesNotice that there is a blank line at the end of the text. It appears in the text because we put closing quotes ''' on a new line. If you don't move the closing quotation marks to a new line, there will be no empty line in the text:
text = ''' Example text,
consisting of
several lines'''Example text,
consisting of
several linesBecause of the triple quotes, multi-line strings allow you not to escape quotes within a string:
There is no need to escape the 'single' and 'double' quotesEven multi-line strings can become f-string for interpolation:
a = 'A'
b = 'B'
# On the left was added f
text = f'''{a} и {b}
sitting on a pipe
'''А and B
sitting on a pipeThe computer doesn't care what kind of linking and line feeds you use. It will still do the calculations and give you the result you want. Interpolation and multi-line strings are used to make it easier for developers to read code.
Instructions
Write the text below into the text variable. Use triple quotes.
Lannister, Targaryen, Baratheon, Stark, Tyrell...
they're all just spokes on a wheel.
This one's on top, then that one's on top, and on and on it spins,
crushing those on the ground.If you've reached a deadlock it's time to ask your question in the «Discussions». How ask a question correctly:
- Be sure to attach the test output, without it it's almost impossible to figure out what went wrong, even if you show your code. It's complicated for developers to execute code in their heads, but having a mistake before their eyes most probably will be helpful.

Your exercise will be checked with these tests:
import importlib
def test(capsys):
expected = """Уважаемый пользователь!
Ваш заказ успешно оформлен.
Ожидаемая дата доставки: 3-5 рабочих дней.
Спасибо, что выбрали нас!"""
expect_output(capsys, expected)
def expect_output(capsys, expected):
importlib.import_module('solution')
out, _err = capsys.readouterr()
actual = out.strip('\n')
with capsys.disabled():
print('\n')
print(out)
assert actual == expectedTeacher's solution will be available in:
