## Escaping Literal Quotes in Strings
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* When you need to use a special character such as `"` inside a string you need to escape it using `\`.
|
||
|
|
* If you use double quotes `"` for the string, single quotes `'` in the string do not need to be escaped.
|
||
|
|
* If you use single quotes `'` for the string, double quotes `"` in the string do not need to be escaped.

|
## Solution
|
||
|
|
```javascript
|
||
|
|
var myStr = "I am a \"double quoted\" string inside \"double quotes\".";
|
||
|
|
var otherStr = 'I am a \'single quoted\' string inside \'single quotes\'.';
|
||
|
|
var noEscapeSingle = "There is no need to 'escape' the single quotes.";
|
||
|
|
var noEscapeDouble = 'There is no need to "escape" the double quotes.';
|
||
|
|
```
