NULL-terminated sequences of ASCII codes can be denoted using the following syntax:
"foo"
Poke string values are very similar to C strings. They comprise a
sequence of 8-bit character codes, terminated by the value 0UB
.
The following escape sequences are supported inside string literals:
\n
Denotes a new line character.
\t
Denotes an horizontal tab.
\\
Denotes a backlash \
character.
\"
Denotes a double-quote "
character.
\num
num is a number in the range 1 to 255 (inclusive) in base 8.
\xnum
num is a number in the range 1 to 255 (inclusive) in base 16.
Strings cannot contain 0UB
character, and inserting one using
escape sequences (\0
or \x0
) leads to compilation error.
