How can I assign a multiline string literal to a variable?

Assigning a multiline string literal to a variable can be done easily using different methods depending on the programming language you're working with. Here are some common approaches:

In Python:

Triple Quotes:

Use triple single (''') or double quotes (""") to create multiline strings.

multiline_string = """This is a

multiline string

in Python."""

In JavaScript (ES6+):

Template Literals:

Use backticks (`) for multiline strings.

const multilineString = `This is a

multiline string

in JavaScript.`;

In Java:

Text Blocks (Java 15+):

Use triple double quotes (""") for multiline strings.

String multilineString = """

    This is a

    multiline string

    in Java.

    """;

String Concatenation (Java 8 and earlier):

String multilineString = "This is a

" +

                         "multiline string

" +

                         "in Java.";

In Swift:

Triple Quotes:

let multilineString = """

This is a

multiline string

in Swift.

"""

In C#:

Verbatim String Literal:

Use @ before double quotes.

string multilineString = @"This is a

multiline string

in C#.";

Using the appropriate method for your language ensures readability and reduces the need for manual line breaks (
).
