String literals

• One or more characters surrounded by double quotes, as in "xyz".

• Initialized with the characters contained in the double quotes.

• Have static storage duration and type ``array of characters.''

• Escape sequences may also be used in string literals. A double quote within the string must be escaped with a backslash. New-line characters are not valid within a string.

• Adjacent string literals are concatenated into a single string. A null character, \0, is appended to the result of the concatenation, if any.

• String literals are also known as ``string constants.''
