This program is designed merely to illustrate the flexibility of the print function. As you'll see below, the output from the line in which I was receiving an error is intended to read as, "Here it is..." For clarity, the full program reads as follows: # Game Over - Version 2 # Demonstrates the use of quotes in strings # Python Programming for the Absolute Beginner, 3rd ed - Ch 2 # Greg Markham - Aug 04, 2014 print("Program 'Game Over' 2.0") print("Same", "message", "as before") print("Just", "a bit", "bigger") print("Here", end=" ") print("it is...") print( """ _____ ___ ___ ___ _____ / ___| / | / |/ | | ___| | | / /| | / /| /| | | |__ | | _ / ___ | / / |__/ | | | __| | |_| | / / | | / / | | | |___ \_____/ /_/ |_| /_/ |_| |_____| _____ _ _ _____ _____ / _ \ | | / / | ___| | _ \ | | | | | | / / | |__ | |_| | | | | | | | / / | __| | _ / | |_| | | |/ / | |___ | | \ \ \_____/ |___/ |_____| |_| \_\ """ ) input("\n\nPress the enter key to exit.")
