String creation and literal types in C Sharp (C#) - Mini Project: Build & Apply

String creation and literal types

📖 Scenario: You are creating a simple program that stores and displays different types of strings. This is like writing notes with different styles and formats.

🎯 Goal: Build a C# program that creates strings using different literal types and then prints them.

📋 What You'll Learn

Create string variables using normal string literals

Create string variables using verbatim string literals

Create string variables using interpolated string literals

Print all the string variables

💡 Why This Matters

🌍 Real World

Handling strings in different formats is common when working with file paths, messages, and user input in software.

💼 Career

Understanding string literals and how to create them correctly is essential for writing clear and bug-free code in many programming jobs.

1

Create normal string literals

Create two string variables called greeting and farewell. Set greeting to the value "Hello, world!" and farewell to the value "Goodbye!".

C Sharp (C#)

// Create two string variables greeting and farewell with the exact values
// Your code here

Need a hint?

Use double quotes to create normal string literals in C#.

2

Create verbatim string literal

Add a string variable called filePath and set it to the verbatim string literal @"C:\Users\Public\Documents".

C Sharp (C#)

string greeting = "Hello, world!";
string farewell = "Goodbye!";
// Add a verbatim string literal called filePath
// Your code here

Need a hint?

Use the @ symbol before the string to create a verbatim string literal that treats backslashes as normal characters.

3

Create interpolated string literal

Add a string variable called message that uses an interpolated string literal to combine greeting and farewell with a space between them. Use the syntax $"{greeting} {farewell}".

C Sharp (C#)

string greeting = "Hello, world!";
string farewell = "Goodbye!";
string filePath = @"C:\Users\Public\Documents";
// Add an interpolated string literal called message
// Your code here

Need a hint?

Use the $ symbol before the string and curly braces to insert variables inside the string.

4

Print all string variables

Write Console.WriteLine statements to print the values of greeting, farewell, filePath, and message each on its own line.

C Sharp (C#)

string greeting = "Hello, world!";
string farewell = "Goodbye!";
string filePath = @"C:\Users\Public\Documents";
string message = $"{greeting} {farewell}";
// Print all string variables
// Your code here

Need a hint?

Use Console.WriteLine to print each string variable on its own line.
