Hey,
This is probably a newb question, but what all can a string type variable hold?
Is it restricted to just letters or can it hold things like "/\|;:'><!@#$%^"...?
An easy way to think of a string is that its an array of characters in C and a vector of characters in C++.
Meaning it can hold any character. If you want something like " ' or \ in it you need to put an escape character before it like
mystring = "\\"
mystring = "\""
Ok,
What if it is reading from a file? Does the escape character still need to be there?
It probably does, I just would like to make sure. Also how to you get an underscore character?
Thanks in advance,
Tmantix.

you only need escape characters for a few specific characters because these characters are also key characters for the compiler
an underscore would just be mystring = "_"
