string

To represent texts in BI#, use the string type. Internally, string objects store all characters in Unicode. BI# treats all character sequences enclosed in double quotes as strings:

string message = "Hello";
string empty = "";

To encode special characters such as new lines and tabulators, use escape sequences:

string message = "one\ttwo\n";

BI# supports these escape sequences:

\n	New line
\r	Carriage return
\b	Bell
\t	Tabulator
\f	Form feed
\"	Double quote
\\	Backslash
