Javascript:Multiline string

A string is an ordered sequence of character values.

Specifically, a string is a sequence of one or more

characters that can be either letters, numbers, or

symbols (such as punctuation marks).

There are three ways you can create a string in JavaScript:

By using single quotes.

By using double quotes.

By using backticks.

There are three ways to create strings that span multiple lines:

By using template literals.(backticks)

By using the + operator – the JavaScript concatenation operator.

By using the \ operator – the JavaScript backslash operator and

escape character.

If you choose to use single or double quotes instead of template

literals to create a string that spans multiple lines,

you would have to use either the + operator or the \ operator.

Code :

//putting string in single quote or double quote doesn't effect both

treated as same.

//using backslash

let multiLineStringOne="India is my country.\

\nAll indians are my brother & sister.\

\nI love my country and I am proud of its rich and varied heritage.\

\nI shall always strive to be worthy of it. \

\nI shall give my parents, teachers and all elders respect and treat everyone with courtesy.";

//quoting in backtick - the most simple way

let multiLineStringTwo=`India is my country.

All indians are my brother & sister.

I love my country and I am proud of its rich and varied heritage.

I shall always strive to be worthy of it.

I shall give my parents, teachers and all elders respect and treat everyone with courtesy.`;

/* using backslash at end of string

& hypen at beginning of string,hypen followed by space or followed nothing also work

even if we remove hypen it does not affect final output

*/

let multiLineStringThree='India is my country.\

- \nAll indians are my brother & sister. \

- \nI love my country and I am proud of its rich and varied heritage. \

- \nI shall always strive to be worthy of it. \

- \nI shall give my parents, teachers and all elders respect and treat everyone with courtesy.';

//using concatenation

let multiLineStringFour='India is my country.' +

'\nAll indians are my brother & sister.' +

'\nI love my country and I am proud of its rich and varied heritage.' +

'\nI shall always strive to be worthy of it.' +

'\nI shall give my parents, teachers and all elders respect and treat everyone with courtesy.';

let multiLineStringFive ='India is my country.\n\

All indians are my brother & sister. \n\

I love my country and I am proud of its rich and varied heritage. \n\

I shall always strive to be worthy of it. \n\

I shall give my parents, teachers and all elders respect and treat everyone with courtesy.';

perator to make the string span multiple lines.
