In Java, a string is a sequence of characters enclosed within double quotes (” “). Sometimes, you may need to include double quotes within a string. For example, you may want to print a message that includes a quote, such as “He said, “Hello!<\/strong>“.<\/p>\n

You can use an escape character to include quotation marks within a string in Java. An escape character is a backslash (), indicating to the compiler that the next character is special. You can use the escape character to include a double quote within a string “.<\/p>\n

Here’s an example:<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n
\r\nString message = \"He said, \\\"Hello!\\\"\";\r\nSystem.out.println(message);\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/div>\n
 <\/p>\n
Output<\/strong><\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
\n
\r\nHe said, \"Hello!\" \r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/div>\n
 <\/p>\n
In this example, we used the escape character “to include double quotes within the string. The backslash tells the compiler that the next character is a special character, not the string’s end.<\/p>\n
You can also use single quotes to define a literal string containing double quotes. You don’t need to escape the double quotes when you use single quotes. For example:<\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
\n
\r\nString message = 'He said, \"Hello!\"';\r\nSystem.out.println(message); <\/code><\/pre>\n<\/div>\n
 <\/p>\n
Output:<\/strong><\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
\n
\r\nHe said, \"Hello!\"\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/div>\n
 <\/p>\n
In this example, we used single quotes to define the literal string containing double quotes. Because we used single quotes, we didn’t need to escape the double quotes.<\/p>\n
It’s important to note that you can’t use a single backslash () within a string literal to escape a double quote. For example, the following code will not compile:<\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
\n
\r\nString message = \"He said, \"\\\"Hello!\\\"\";  \/\/ Error: Invalid escape sequence \r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/div>\n
 <\/p>\n
You must use the escape character to include a double quote within a string “.<\/p>\n
In summary, to include quotation marks within a string in Java, you can use the escape character ” or define the string literally with single quotes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
