View source for String

A '''string''' is a series of [[character]]s which, when specified as data, is surrounded by single quotes, i.e. ' . To assign the value '''Hello world!''' to the variable A, in APL you would type
:A{assign}'Hello world!'

Where it is necessary to include a quote into a string, it must be doubled, e.g. to type in '''Don't do that''' to the variable B, in APL you would type
:A{assign}'Don<nowiki>''</nowiki>t do that'
Note that what follows after the letter n are two apostrophes, not a double quote.
