6,803 PointsHow come we're not adding quotes to the variable on this python script: print("Is awesome", first_name)
How come variables dont need to quotes inside a print function.

229,732 PointsWhen you put quotes around something, it is treated literally. So if you set "name = 'Joe'" and then "print(name)" you will see "Joe". But if you "print('name')" you will see "name".
So normally you will never put quotes around a variable.
