Strings

A Lisp string is written as a sequence of characters between double quotes.

"This is a string."

Double quotes can be entered using the backslash character

"Here is a \"string within a string\"."

Backslashes can be included by using a double backslash:

"c:\\windows\\system\\temp.txt"

A string is a one-dimensional array of characters.
