Quotation marks inside a string [duplicate]

Question

I need some help from you guys. I have a string name = "john"

But I want to save this String name as "john", including ""(quotations)

String name = ""john""; String name1 = "[john]" 

Can some one help me with this.

Answer 1

String name = "\"john\""; 

You have to escape the second pair of quotation marks using the \ character in front. It might be worth looking at this link, which explains in some detail.

Other scenario where you set variable:

String name2 = "\""+name+"\""; 

Sequence in console:

> String name = "\"john\""; > name ""john"" > String name2 = "\""+name+"\""; > name2 """john""" 

Answer 2

You need to escape the quotation marks:

String name = "\"john\"";
