How would you go about doing the following without error?
print("Type "exit" To Exit")

simple fix, use this
There's two types of string syntax for printing, there the single quote ' and double quote " if you want to print a double quote the surround the rest of the string in a single quote and visa versa
Hope this helps you

And of course you can just escape it
print("this is a quotation mark: \" - what a surprise!")

I'll go ahead and add that you can use double brackets too. They're best for strings in multiple lines, and maybe if you want to use both double and single quotes.
s = [[ a string
with mutiple lines
with 'single' and "double" quotes! ]]
