在return语句中返回引号

Question

I made a function that returns a string as shown below but I was wondering how do I keep the double quotes for the quote?

def quote_maker(quote, name, year):
''' (string, string, number)-> None
Returns a sentence displaying in what given year the
given name of a person said the given quote.
'''
return (' In '+ str(year) +', a person called '+ name +' said: '+ quote)

For example my function returns:

 quote_maker("Everything should be made as simple as possible but not simpler.", "Albert Einstein", 1933)

'In 1933, a person called Albert Einstein said: Everything should be made as simple as possible but not simpler.'

Instead of: (with double quotes)

'In 1933, a person called Albert Einstein said: "Everything should be made as simple as possible but not simpler."'

Answer 1

You can escape characters (done with \\ ) that have a special meaning to treat them as characters:

" this is quoted: \\"example\\" "

represents the string:

this is quoted: "example"

Answer 2

I think best way is to use string formating. And return the variable.

sentence = 'In {0}, a person called {1} said: "{2}".'.format(year, name, quote)

For complicated string you should use escape characters. For more details enter link description here
