404 PointsWhat is the function behind double quotes? Is it always required to write syntaxes or numbers within them?
In this video lecture, I noticed that numbers were written within double quotes or sometimes not used at all. Is there a reason why double quotes should be used? Would it reflect into the final product?

You can't add, subtract, etc. it with another number. Now if it wasn't in quotes, it actually is an integer value, which means you can ads it with other values and so forth. Hope this answers your question.
