What’s the difference between assigning a string value within and without parentheses for a variable in Python 3?

message = "Hello World!"

vs

message = ("Hello World!")

As far as I have tested, both get interpreted with the same output. I’ve just started to learn python and wondering if those parentheses have any impact.

Answer

Both the implementations are same.

message= "Hello World!"
print(type(message))

Output: <class ‘str’>

message = ("Hello World!")
print(type(message))

Output: <class ‘str’>

Adding parenthesis to a string don’t automatically make them tuples. You need to add a comma after the string to indicate to python that it should be a tuple.

message = ("Hello World!",)
print(type(message))

Output:<class ‘tuple’>
