Quick Java programming question involving quotation marks.

[BHeemsoth]

Please don't flame me; I am new to Java.

I am trying to make a program that displays a variable as part of a string.

For example.

System.out.println("Book: " + title);

I need to surround the variable title with double quotation marks. When I try to do as my book says (/") I get Syntax errors.

Any ideas?

As always, thank you in advance.

what you want is \", not /"

eg
System.out.println("Book\"" + title + "\"");

dighn's code should work fine, what these are called are escape sequences btw. Google "java escape sequences" to see more.

Yeah, I learned about those. However, I was putting them in the wrong places in the skin.
