# String Literals

There are same sequences that you can insert inside strings to create a new line, or to add a tab.

These are: \n, \t, \r, \\ etc.

string columns = "Column 1\tColumn 2\tColumn 3";
string rows = "Row 1\nRow 2\nRow 3";

Console.WriteLine(columns);
Console.WriteLine(rows);

These are also called escape characters.

# Multiline Strings

To create a multiline string, we can use the verbatim operator@:

var text = @"This is a text
on multiple
lines";

Also, we can use this to not repeat ourselves when we want to insert backslash characters, or quotes in strings.

So, we can write:

string filePath = @"C:\Users\Public\Documents";

instead of:

string filePath = "C:\\Users\\Public\\Documents";

This operator is very convenient. 😉
