Use the " character in a string

Question

Hello I would like to use the character "in a string variable like this:

std::string hello = """;

Is it possible to do such a thing or am I talking nonsense? Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

You can either use the escaped character like

    std::string hello( "\"" );

or

    std::string hello = "\"";

or use a constructor that accepts a character literal like

std::string hello( 1, '"' );

Or you can use even a raw string literal like

std::string hello( R"(")" );

or

std::string hello = R"(")";
