Another cool thing you can do with the absolute marker the @ sign is you can store multiline strings like this: string myString = @This is a multiline string and it will be stored like this.; Pretty cool lol.

If your string is 'verbatim' (i.e. preceded by the @ character) you can achieve the same thing by doubling the quotes: string phrase = @Mary said The weather is nice today;

Dave · Answer

You can use the backslash as an escape character to accomplish that. You would write: string phrase = Mary said \The weather is nice today\; The slash followed by the inverted commas signals to the compiler that those inverted commas are not the end of the string and that they should be displayed as text.
