How python interpret multi-line code into single line code:
- python program
- physical lines of code(end with a physical newline CHARACTER create by enter)
- logical lines of code(end with a logical NEWLINE token)
- tokenized
- execute
physical newlines vs logical newline
sometimes physical newlines are ignored in order to combine multiple physical lines into a single logical newline

multi-line strings are regular string, not comments (can be used as docstring)
escaped characters(\n, \t), non-visible characters(newlines, tabs) in multi-line are part of string; escaped characters will formatted when print it
