Can a string literal extend over several lines?

Can a string literal extend over several lines? why or why not?

[Dheeraj Joshi]

String literal can not have new line character(\u000a). So that mean's it can not be more than a line.

However, you can do something like

String test = "Line 1 " +
  "Line 2";

if you want to separate your string. This will print as

Line 1 Line 2

If you want to add a line break to the output as well, it would be

String test = "Line 1\n" +
  "Line 2";

which would print as

Line 1
Line 2
