Creating multiline strings is a simple way to split a long string into different lines in your code. To create multiline strings in R, we use the cat() function.
To use the cat() function, all we need to do is pass the multiline string variable as a parameter value, as shown below:
cat(multiline_variable)
The
multiline_variableparameter is the variable that contains the multiline string.
string1 <- 'In the land of mythand in times of magic,the destiny of a great kingdomrests on the shoulders of a young man.'# using the cat() functioncat(string1)
When the cat() function is not used to return a multiline variable (string), R will simply add \n at the end of each line break. \n is an escape character, and n tells us that it is a new line.
string1 <- 'In the land of mythand in times of magic,the destiny of a great kingdomrests on the shoulders of a young man.'# without using the cat() functionstring1
