How to declare a multiline string in Zig?

Question

How can I write a string that spans over multiple lines in Zig?

For example:

var str = `hello
second line
world
fourth line
`

Answer 1

Zig has this weird but cool syntax with multiple lines starting with \\ and the ; in the next line.

Here's a singleton:

const str =
    \\hello
    \\second line
    \\world
    \\fourth line
;

Here is an array of 2 multiline strings:

const array_of_multiline_strings = [_][]const u8{
    \\hello
    \\world
    ,
    \\goodbye
    \\world
};
