28. Raw string

Curious to know how you can add a double quote in raw strings?

No escape sequences are recognized in raw strings, so adding a backslash does not work.

Use ### to mark the start and the end of a raw string.

println!("This is a double quote \" ");

// println!(r"This is a double quote " "); // Nope!
// println!(r"This is a double quote \" "); // Nope!

// And this works
println!(r#"This is a double quote " "#);
println!(r###"This is a double quote " "###);
