What is the difference between the various ways to quote strings?
There is no difference between single and double quoted strings, you may use either, although it’s a good practice to be consistent. These strings may contain C-style escape characters (like \n) although note that \012 is the decimal constant 12! Long string quotes [[..]] do not interpret these escapes specially.
There is no difference between single and double quoted strings, you may use either, although it’s a good practice to be consistent. For example, people use single-quotes for internal strings and double-quotes for strings that are meant to be seen by the user/system. These strings may contain C-style escape characters (like \n) although note that \012 is the decimal constant 12! Long string quotes [[..]] do not interpret these escapes specially.
