Put single and double quote in Python string format?

Question

I'm having trouble figuring out how to print a very specific line.

I tried using .format and I also tried the print("str",variable,"str") method but I can't seem to figure out how to make it print correctly.

feet=5
inches=6

print('Room Length:{}' {}"'.format(feet,inches))

I want the computer to print; Room Length: 5' 6" but I am not sure how to print this while keeping the apostrophe and the quotations for feet and inches.

@cricket_007 Ah, you're right ! didn't notice that those were the markers for the inches and feet. Deleted my comment as it was clearly wrong. — fixatd, Sep 17 '19 at 08:40

No need to escape the ``"``, though it does not hurt either. – Mike Scotty Sep 17 '19 at 08:39
I thought, being explicit is better. – moys Sep 17 '19 at 08:40
Update to new f-strings if you want: `print(f'Room Length: {feet}\' {inches}\"')` – Hendy Feb 01 '22 at 20:43
