Swift Strings: Special Characters

Use escape sequences inside strings: \n (newline), \t (tab), \" (quote), \\ (backslash).

---

Escapes

Escape special characters with backslashes to represent newlines, tabs, quotes, or backslashes themselves.

Example

print("Hello\nSwift")
print("A\tB\tC")
print("\"quoted\"")
print("\\")

Multiline Strings

Use triple quotes """ for multiline string literals. Indentation before closing quotes is ignored.

Example

let poem = """
Roses are red,
Violets are blue.
"""
print(poem)
