How do I escape special characters in Ruby strings?

In Ruby, you can escape special characters using a backslash. For example, to include a double quote in a string, you would write: "This is a quote: "Hello!"".

What about single quotes? How do I escape them?

For single quotes, you can also use a backslash. For instance: 'It's a sunny day!'

Are there any other characters I need to escape?

Yes, you should escape backslashes (), newlines ( ), and tabs ( ) as well.

Can you give me an example of a multi-line string?

Sure! You can use the heredoc syntax for multi-line strings. For example:

str = <<~HEREDOC
This is a multi-line string.
It can contain "quotes" and 'single quotes'.
