Description: A literal string in programming is a type of string that is written exactly as intended, without any interpolation. This means that the content of the string remains intact and expressions within it are not evaluated. In many programming languages, literal strings can be defined using single quotes (‘ ‘) or double quotes (” “). However, the key difference lies in that single quotes do not allow variable interpolation or interpretation of special characters, while double quotes do. Literal strings are useful when you want to represent text without modifications, which can be essential in situations where the accuracy of the content is critical, such as in generating error messages, creating text templates, or manipulating data that should not be altered. Additionally, using literal strings can enhance code readability, as it allows developers to clearly see the text being used without distractions from interpolations or additional evaluations.
