Ruby Strings - ashish9342/FreeCodeCamp GitHub Wiki
-
Strings are a series of characters 'strung' together between quotes.
-
Single or double quotes can be used to create strings in Ruby.
-
Ruby does some extra evaluation on strings that are created with double quotes, such as:
- Escaping characters:
\n,\t,\s - Using variables and expressions inside:
#{variable or expression}
- Escaping characters:
-
Strings with single quotes are rendered as they are, without any special considerations.
"Hello World"
# is equivalent to:
'Hello World'"This is line 1.\nAnd this is line 2."
# returns:
This is line 1.
And this is line 2.name = "Batman"
"Hello, my name is #{name}!"
# returns:
Hello, my name is Batman!# Note that for single quotes, ruby doesn't take special consideration for variables or backslashes:
'This is your name:\n#{name}'
# returns:
This is your name:\n#{name}
