Strings

As strings must be written within quotes, quotes inside the string must be handled. The backslash (\) escape character turns special characters into string characters.

var sayHello = 'Hello world! \'I am a JavaScript programmer.\' ';
document.write(sayHello);Try It Yourself

Result:
The escape character (\) can also be used to insert other special characters into a string.
These special characters can be added to a text string using the backslash sign.
If you begin a string with a single quote, then you should also end it with a single quote. The same rule applies to double quotes. Otherwise, JavaScript will become confused.

Please enter the corresponding characters to enable the display of the whole string:

var s = "I think

 

 

"JavaScript is
 easy

 

 

" ";
document.write(s)
