Wrong way:
Python3
print ( 'Hello I don' t dislike python') |

print('Hello I don't dislike python') ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax
Right way:
Instead of using single quotations, enclose the string in double quotes.

Output:
Hello I don't dislike python
Before the single quotation in the string, insert the escape character.
Python3
print ( 'Hello I don\'t dislike python' ) |
Output:
Hello I don't dislike python
