Strings
A string is indicated by enclosing a sequence of characters in either single quotation marks or double quotation marks. If you want to use one type of quotation mark inside a string, you can use the other type of quotation mark to indicate the beginning and ending of the string. Otherwise, you can use an escape characterA way to encode a special character.. Escape characters include:
| Escape character | Meaning |
|---|---|
\' |
' |
\" |
" |
\n |
new line |
\t |
tab |
\\ |
\ |
The empty string is formed by putting quotation marks next to each other without any characters in between, like this: "".
To concatenateTo make a new one by gluing together two. two strings, use +.
Notice that a string appears in the console with double quotation marks, no matter which type of quotation mark is used in the script.
