End of statement expected while using Dot Format

I need to print the following of code :

print('hello "my friend '{}' "'.format(name))

such that the output is:

'hello "my friend 'ABCD' " '

But I get the error: End of Statement expected

What is the correct syntax?

>Solution :

You need to escape quotes if you want to use them in a string:

print('hello "my friend \'{}\'"'.format(name))
