Say you have a String literal with a lot of quotation marks inside it. You could escape them all, but it's a pain, and difficult to read.
In some languages, you can just do this:
foo = '"Hello, World"';
In Java, however, ''
is used for char
s, so you can't use it for String
s this way. Some languages have syntax to work around this. For example, in python, you can do this:
"""A pretty "convenient" string"""
Does Java have anything similar?
