Strings

A string represents a sequence of characters. We can create a string by enclosing the corresponding sequence of characters between double quotes, as shown in the following:

julia> "Measuring programming progress by lines of code is like measuring aircraft building progress by weight." 
 

If the string also includes quotes, we can escape these by prefixing them with a backslash \:

julia> "Beta is Latin for \"still doesn't work\"." 

Triple-quoted strings

However, escaping can get messy, so there's a much better way of dealing with this—by using triple quotes """...""".

julia> """Beta is Latin for "still doesn&apos...
