[Tutor] Extremely simple question

[Max S.]

I believe that line 3 raises an error.  The because you contained the text
in single quotes, and then used the same character in 'you're not chris',
Python believes that you are trying to type "you" re not chris".  You can
change the single quotes surrounding your string to double quotes ("you're
not chris"), triple-single quotes ('''you're not chris'''), or
triple-double quotes ("""you're not chris"""), or you can tell Python that
you want to include the apostrophe in your string by preceding it with a \
('you\'re not chris').  The latter works on the same idea as \n and \t.
