How to enter quotes in a String?

Question

I want to initialize a String in Java, but that string needs to include quotes; for example: "ROM"

I tried doing String value = " "ROM" ";, but that doesn't work. How can I include "s within a string?

Answer 1

Not sure what language you're using (you didn't specify), but you should be able to "escape" the quotation mark character with a backslash: "\"ROM\""

Answer 2

In Java, you can escape quotes with \:

String value = " \"ROM\" ";

Answer 3

Just escape the quotes:

String value = "\"ROM\"";

Answer 4

In reference to your comment after Ian Henry's answer, I'm not quite 100% sure I understand what you are asking.

If it is about getting double quote marks added into a string, you can concatenate the double quotes into your string, for example:

String theFirst = "Java Programming";
String ROM = "\"" + theFirst + "\"";

Or, if you want to do it with one String variable, it would be:

String ROM = "Java Programming";
ROM = "\"" + ROM + "\"";

Of course, this actually replaces the original ROM, since Java Strings are immutable.

If you are wanting to do something like turn the variable name into a String, you can't do that in Java, AFAIK.
