StringsΒΆ

The Raku language handles all strings as UTF-8 by default. Strings can be enclosed within single quote or double quotes or various quote-like operators. Double quotes allow for string interpolation.

A string can be declared as:

1
my Str $string = 'Limpiyadhura is in Nepal';

Strings can be appended to one another, using the concatenation operator: ~.

1
2
3
my Str $str = "Hello" ~ " World" ~ "!";
say $str; # Hello World!
$str.say; # same as above
