string

A sequence of characters.

Details

Strings constants can be inserted into the code as text standing either inside single quote (') or double quote (") characters, e.g. "Lorem ipsum" or 'Lorem ipsum'.

Line breaks can be inserted into a string literal either via the newline character '\n' or by adding a line break directly.

Strings may contain unicode characters.

Example

 string s = "lorem ipsum"
 echo( s )
 echo( s.length() )
 echo( s.char( 3 ) )
 

Output

 lorem ipsum
 11
 e
