Difference between print("Hello world!") and print('Hello World!')?

I just started learning python and in the 6th video of the basics the instructor used '' and "" for the print function and I'm wondering what the difference is and how would it affect one's code down the line?

The only difference to the computer is that you capitalized the W in "World". Python doesn't care if it's double quotes or single quotes (as long as you don't mix and match single with double!)

No difference, as long as your use of quotation marks is consistent.
