I generally use double quotes, personally, but I would think you should definitely use double quotes in a situations when your string contains an apostrophe or other single quotes, and you should use single quotes when your string would contain double quotes

Courses Plus Student 1,946 Pointsi think the same way too.. but in some of quiz here it says "ERROR" whereas i see nothing wrong with the code but when i try to change it to single qoute . . BOOM IT PASSED!.. . i just found it weird but at least i know that my thoughts are right (just for my peace of mind). Maybe its the answer are programmed to be exact.
big thanks :)
