[Tutor] Line Continuation Confusion

Single quoted strings have to be on one line, if you had used 
a triple quoted string it would be fine.

Some further examples:

def f(s): pass
def g(s,i): pass

f(""" SELECT FOO FROM BAR
      WHERE X = 42""")

g("SELECT COUNT FROM FOO", 42)

g( "SELECT COUNT FROM FOO",
   42)

f("SELECT FOO FROM BAZ \
   WHERE X=42")   # can use  the explicit separator '\' too
