> " second line" :
> You cannot use backslash as string continution character in java. You have to write the code as
> String str = "first line " +
> "second line" ;
> or
> String str = "first line second line" ;

> Java is not C or C++. So don't compare everything in C , C++ with Java. Just learn the rules of Java and apply them only when you are working in java and same goes for C/C++ .
