SObject List syntax error

Question

In Execute Anonymous, I'm trying to bulk-process a list of sObjects by passing a list to the DML operation with multiple fields. When I just define the 'Name', it works. When I add Field1 and Field2, I get the error below.

Line: 4, Column: 105 Invalid identifier '’John’'. Apex identifiers must start with an ASCII letter (a-z or A-Z) followed by any number of ASCII letters (a-z or A-Z), digits (0 - 9), '$', '_'.

// Define the list
List<PT_PIPROJ__AccountInsertTestObj__c> acctList = new List<PT_PIPROJ__AccountInsertTestObj__c>(); 
// Create PT_PIPROJ__AccountInsertTestObj__c sObjects
PT_PIPROJ__AccountInsertTestObj__c a1 = new PT_PIPROJ__AccountInsertTestObj__c(Name='Account3',  Field1=’John’, Field2=’Doe’); 
PT_PIPROJ__AccountInsertTestObj__c a2 = new PT_PIPROJ__AccountInsertTestObj__c(Name='Account4’, Field1=’Jane’, Field2=’Smith'); 
// Add accounts to the list
acctList.add(a1);
acctList.add(a2);
// Bulk insert the list
insert acctList;

Answer 1

You need to use the proper single quote character ('), whereas you have used some other single quote character (’).
