Topic: string literals

Summary

For string constants, users need to specify null strings, strings with internal quotes, and strings with non-printing characters. Internal quotes are usually adjacent quote marks, non-printing characters are an escape character before a literal ascii value. String constants may include a repetition factor. (cbb 5/80)
