Quotation marks inside a string

You need to escape the quotation marks:

String name = "\"john\"";

You can add escaped double quotes like this: String name = "\"john\"";

String name = "\"john\"";

You have to escape the second pair of quotation marks using the \ character in front. It might be worth looking at this link, which explains in some detail.

Other scenario where you set variable:

String name2 = "\""+name+"\"";

Sequence in console:

> String name = "\"john\"";
> name
""john""
> String name2 = "\""+name+"\"";
> name2
"""john"""
