Multiline Strings in Swift [duplicate]

Question

How can I create a multiline string in Swift? This is what I tried:

var myMultilineString = "This is a " + "\n" + "multiline string"
print(myMultilineString)

I wanted it to print:

This is a

multiline string

Answer 1

Swift4 has this feature built in:

var myMultilineString =
"""
This is a

multiline string
"""

very convenient

Answer 2

If you want more than a line return between the strings but rather a real blank line, then you need two line feed characers.

var myMultilineString = "This is a " + "\n\n" + "multiline string"
print(myMultilineString)
