% String literals are enclosed in double-quotes in Algol W. %
|
||
|
|
% There isn't a separate character type but strings of lenghth one can %
|
||
|
|
% be used instead. %
|
||
|
|
% There are no escaping conventions used in string literals, except that %
|
||
|
|
% in order to have a double-quote character in a string, two double %
|
||
|
|
% quotes must be used. %
|
||
|
|
% Examples: %
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
% write a single character %
|
||
|
|
write( "a" );
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
% write a double-quote character %
|
||
|
|
write( """" );
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
% write a multi-character string - note the "\" is not an escape %
|
||
|
|
% and a\nb will appear on the output, not a and b on separate lines %
|
||
|
|
write( "a\nb" );
|
||
|
|
|

end.
