# bad-quotes-inline-string (Q000) Derived from the **flake8-quotes** linter. Autofix is always available. ## What it does Checks for inline strings that use single quotes or double quotes, depending on the value of the [`inline-quotes`](https://github.com/charliermarsh/ruff#inline-quotes) setting. ## Why is this bad? Consistency is good. Use either single or double quotes for inline strings, but be consistent. ## Example ```python foo = 'bar' ``` Assuming `inline-quotes` is set to `double`, use instead: ```python foo = "bar" ```
