String Literal

Literal, more specifically, means how you hard-code the strings in C# programs. It consists of two forms.

• Regular string literals
• Verbatim string literals

Regular string literals consist of the characters enclosed in the double-quotes. The various characters (, a carriage return, and line feed) and many others need to be "escaped" to be represented in the string.

Verbatim string literals consist of @ character, followed by the double quote, characters, and closing double-quote character. It allows pretty much anything within them.
