n\ and \n are different.
n\ means "an n character and then an escaped character"
because the n\ was followed by a ", then the string literally contains n\"
for example,
"my momma always said \"life is like a box of chocolates. you never know
what you gonna get.\""
will be the following string:
my momma always said "life is like a box of chocolates. you never know
what you gonna get."
The reason they're "green" in IDLE is because there is no end " for the
string, since the \" is interpreted as "put the quotation mark into the
string instead
of stopping the string here"
