How to write long strings in Multi-lines C/C++?
Image a situation where we want to use or print a long long string in C or C++, how to do this? In C/C++, we can break a string at any point in the middle using two double quotes in the middle.
Below is a simple example to demonstrate the same.
C
#include<stdio.h> int main() { // We can put two double quotes anywhere in a string char *str1 = "Beginner" "quiz" ; // We can put space line break between two double quotes char *str2 = "Qeeks" "Quiz" ; char *str3 = "Qeeks" "Quiz" ; puts (str1); puts (str2); puts (str3); puts ( "Beginner" // Breaking string in multiple lines "forBeginner" ); return 0; } |
Output
Beginnerquiz QeeksQuiz QeeksQuiz w3wiki
Below are few examples with long long strings broken using two double quotes for better readability.
C
#include<stdio.h> int main() { char *str = "These are reserved words in C language are int, float, " "if, else, for, while etc. An Identifier is a sequence of" "letters and digits, but must start with a letter. " "Underscore ( _ ) is treated as a letter. Identifiers are " "case sensitive. Identifiers are used to name variables," "functions etc." ; puts (str); return 0; } |
Output
These are reserved words in C language are int, float, if, else, for, while etc. An Identifier is a sequence ofletters and digits, but must start with a letter. Underscore ( _ ) is treated as a letter...
Similarly, we can write long strings in printf and or cout.
C
#include<stdio.h> int main() { char *str = "An Identifier is a sequence of" "letters and digits, but must start with a letter. " "Underscore ( _ ) is treated as a letter. Identifiers are " "case sensitive. Identifiers are used to name variables," "functions etc." ; printf ( "These are reserved words in C language are int, float, " "if, else, for, while etc. %s " , str); return 0; } |
Output
These are reserved words in C language are int, float, if, else, for, while etc. An Identifier is a sequence ofletters and digits, but must start with a letter. Underscore ( _ ) is treated as a letter...
