Swift Strings: Special Characters

Swift Strings: Special Characters

Use escape sequences inside strings: \n (newline), \t (tab), \" (quote), \\ (backslash).

Escapes

Escape special characters with backslashes to represent newlines, tabs, quotes, or backslashes themselves.

print("Hello\nSwift")
print("A\tB\tC")
print("\"quoted\"")
print("\\")

Multiline Strings

Use triple quotes """ for multiline string literals. Indentation before closing quotes is ignored.

let poem = """
Roses are red,
Violets are blue.
"""
print(poem)
