<H4>2.4.5  <A NAME=8>String Literals</H4>
A <A NAME=MARKER2_9></A>string literal is zero or more characters enclosed in double quotes. Each string literal is implemented as a <A NAME=MARKER2_10></A>String object (not as an array of characters). For example, "abc" creates an new instance of class String. The following are all legal string literals:<P>
<PRE>
    "" \\ the empty string
    "\""
    "This is a string"
    "This is a \
       two-line string"
</P
