Hi to everyone. I am absolute new in programming and Python. A started to learn it with one textbook, and one of the first exercises was printing multiple lines with triple quotes. And here the strange thing comes: the word "game" is printed normally, the word "over" is not printed normally. Why is it? How can I fix it? Thank you for your answers.
For words see the picture:

For words, please copy and paste. Use
BBCode tags to format code or output.
Here is the code:
print("Program 'Game Over' 2.0")
print('''

''')In this message the output seems to be correct (therefore I didn't put it here), but in Spider and in the console it is not. Why?
In Python strings, the backslash "\" is a special character, also called the "escape" character. It is used in representing certain whitespace characters: "\t" is a tab, "\n" is a newline, and "\r" is a carriage return.
Put an r in front of the string to make it a raw string it will then treat the "\" as normal "\".
print("Program 'Game Over' 2.0")
print(r'''

''')Another option is to use double "\\"
print("Program 'Game Over' 2.0")
print('''

''')An extra blank space in place of the doubled "\" will also work
Thank you very much, I understood the problem.
