= String Literals =

''Part of'' TutorialIntermediate



Shows how different types of string literals work.

== Example ==

{{{
#!d
/* "Backquote" WYSIWYG strings */

const string a1 = `\`;
const string b1 = `\\`;
const string c1 = `\"`;


/* r"" WYSIWYG strings */

const string a2 = r"\";
const string b2 = r"\\";
const string c2 = r"\" `"`; 
/* The r"" strings can't contain a ", so I used concatenation. */


/* "Regular strings */

const string a3 = "\\";
const string b3 = "\\\\";
const string c3 = "\\\"";


void main()
{
    writef("Test that the strings mean what I think they mean.\n");

    assert(a1 == a2);
    assert(a1 == a3);

    assert(b1 == b2);
    assert(b1 == b3);

    assert(c1 == c2);
    assert(c1 == c3);

    writef("Tests passed!\n");
}
}}}
