Strings

Strings

In Nougaro, Strings work mostly like in Python:

• Quoted by ", ' or «»
• Escape characters:
  • \' : '
  • \" : "
  • \» : »
  • \n : backline
  • \t : tab
  • \\ : backslash
  • \xAA : unicode character number AA (hex)
  • \uAAAA : unicode character number AAAA (hex)
  • \UAAAAAAAA : unicode character number AAAAAAAA (hex)
  • \N{NAME} : unicode character with name NAME. Returns SyntaxError if it doesn’t exist.

Operations

• You can add strings: 'str' + 'str' = 'strstr'
• Or multiply them: 'str' * 3 = 'strstrstr'

Examples

• "Hello world"
• 'Hello world'
• "Hello " + 'world'
• "Hello, " * 2 + 'world'
• "Hello\nworld"
• "Hello\tworld"
• 'I\'m a str'
• "He said: \"I'm a str\""
• "\N{Latin Small Letter C with Cedilla}: \xe7"
• "\N{Greek Small Letter Eta with Dasia and Oxia and Ypogegrammeni}: \u1F95"
• "This is Person Shrugging (🤷): \U0001f937"
• «French guillemets!»
