A string can be represented as follows:

• 'characters'
• "characters"

A string represents a list of ASCII values. It can be any number and combination of characters enclosed in single (') or double (") quotation marks. The starting and ending quotation marks must be the same type. If a matching quotation mark appears inside the string, it must be given twice to prevent the debugger from ending the string too soon.

Examples:

• 'This is a string'
• "This is a string"
• 'This string is okay'
• "This ""string"" is okay"
