kStrings

A string is a series of characters inside of quotation marks. In a program, strings are used to specify display text.

A string made up of numbers (like “123”) or an expression (like “x–1”) cannot be processed as a calculation.

To include quotation marks (") or a backslash (\) in a string, put a backslash (\) in front of the quotation marks (") or backslash (\).

Example 1: To include Japan: “Tokyo” in a string

Print￿"Japan:\"Tokyo\""

Example 2: To include main\abc in a string

Print￿"main\\abc"
