Why \ is used at the end of print statement in python?
<p>Consider the code:</p>

<pre><code>firstName = raw_input("Your fist Name: ")
lastName = raw_input("Your last Name: ")
print "Hello %s, May I call you" \
"Mr. %s?" % (firstName,lastName)
</code></pre>

<p>In line 3, what is the use of <code>\</code> ?</p>

<p>It allows you to do a line break and continue your statement on the next line</p>
