String constants

The string constants can be used as operands to certain pseudo-ops, such as .rename, .byte, and .string pseudo-ops.

String constants differ from other types of constants in that they can be used only as operands to certain pseudo-ops, such as the .rename, .byte, or .string pseudo-ops.

The syntax of string constants consists of any number of characters enclosed in "" (double quotation marks):

"any number of characters"
To use a " in a string constant, use double quotation marks twice. For example:

"a double quote character is specified like this "" "
