Those look like typographic angled quotes, rather than straight quotes.

See the difference between “ ” and "

Ah ha!

Thank you David Rutten, I have so many other questions but I will try and figure them out on my own. I started coding last fall with my two boys and it exploded into grasshopper. This program is changing my life!

Arturo Tedeschi’s book is fantastic after learning from online videos for the past three months. I am devouring his text and trying to build a library of algorithmic modeling codes for my own creative artworks and teaching practice.

All the Best,
