Strings

A string represents text that is defined between double quotes " ".

local greeting = "Hello World"

String Concatenation

With string concatenation multiple strings can be combined into a single string. This is done by using the + operator.

local firstName = "Lithrun"
local lastName = "Silvar"
local fullName = firstName + " " + lastName

print(fullName) // Lithrun Silvar

String Interpolation

With string interpolation values can be inserted directly instead a string instead of joining multiple strings manually. This let’s you write cleaner and simpler code.

local firstName, lastName = "Lithrun", "Silvar"
print(`Hello {firstName} {lastName}`) // Hello Aria

String Multiline

By using `` a multiline string can be defined.

local text = `
Hello World
Have a wonderful day
`

String Escaping

Within a string, some characters are reserved such as " or `. If you do want to use these within a string, then you need to prepend it with an \ escape character.

print("\"Hello World\"") // "Hello World"

Length

To get the length of a string, the # operator can be used.

local name = "Lithrun"
print(#name) // 7
