C++ Syntax: ".."
Description
Double quotes are used to delimit a character string. C++ does the following:-
- Allocates enough space to store the character string including
a trailing 0 (which is used to signal the end of the string)
- Returns a
pointer
character.
Other Uses for ".."
None.
Usage Notes
Character strings sometimes contain special characters that are
introduced by preceding them with a backslash. The most common
of these is \n which means newline, so the famous:-
<![CDATA[
print("Hello World!\n");
]]>
leaves the cursor tidily at the start of the next line.
