Basics of String Literals and Verbatim String Literal

èString Literal is a set of characters enclosed by double quotes.

“this is string literal”

    class Program

    {

        static void Main(string[] args)

        {

            string s = @"this is string1

literal";

            Console.WriteLine(s);

            Console.ReadLine();

        }

    }

è class Program

    {

        static void Main(string[] args)

        {

            string s = "this is string1 \nliteral";

            Console.WriteLine(s);

            Console.ReadLine();

        }

    }

èVerbatim string literal starts with @ , which is followed by a quoted string. The contents of the quoted string are accepted without modification and can span two or more lines. So we can avoid escape sequence.

class Program

    {

        static void Main(string[] args)

        {

            string s = @"this is ""string1"" literal";

            Console.WriteLine(s);

            Console.ReadLine();

        }

    }

class Program

    {

        static void Main(string[] args)

        {

            string s = "this is \"string1\" literal";

            Console.WriteLine(s);

            Console.ReadLine();

        }

    }

ð Verbatim string literals are wonderful benefit for many formatting situation.
