Single quotes, Double quotes as Python input values (using Python 3) : I used the following command and I got different values stored in the variable each time.

    name=input('enter your name:')
    enter your name:'' (two single quotes)
    name
    "''" (this is how it is displayed after I type 'Name' and press 'Enter')

    name=input('enter your name:')
    enter your name:"" (two double quotes)
    name
    '""' (this is how it is displayed after I type 'Name' and press 'Enter')

    name=input('enter your name:')
    enter your name:"'"' (double, single, double, single)
    name
    '"\'"\'' (this is how it is displayed after I type 'Name' and press 'Enter')

    name=input('enter your name:')
    enter your name:'"'" (single, double, single, double)
    name
    '\'"\'"' (this is how it is displayed after I type 'Name' and press 'Enter')

1. What does the \ indicate in the variable 'name' and why is it at all there?
