# Creating long strings

Normally, we want to avoid writing very long code lines. For instance, it is common to limit the width of a line to 80 characters.

Following this limit may be difficult when creating long strings. To achieve this, we can split a long string on multiple lines, by enclosing multiple sub-strings between parentheses.

```{code-cell} ipython3
long_string = (
    "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do "
    "eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim "
    "ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut "
    "aliquip ex ea commodo consequat."
)

print(long_string)
```
