Symbol Assignment

Hello, I am new to q and kdb and have just downloaded the trial version to begin learning. I have gone through several of the tutorials and everything seems to be working correctly. However, whenever I try and assign a symbol to a variable it does not work with a return value of ‘’. Like this:

q)mysymbol:'symbola

'symbola

q)yoursymbols:'symbola’symbolb

‘’

q)mysymbol

'mysymbol

q)yoursymbols

'yoursymbols

and when I try to inspect the namespace I get:

q)key ’

!:’

q)value '.

‘’

Am I assigning these incorrectly or is there something else that I am missing. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I can’t continue with any of the tutorials until I can get this to work as expected.

Hi Kevin,

You are using apostrophe (')  as opposed to backtick (`).
