This comparison of programming languages (strings) compares the features of string data structures or text-string processing for over 52 various computer programming languages.

Concatenation
Different languages use different symbols for the concatenation operator. Many languages use the "+" symbol, though several deviate from this.
Unique variants
strcat function must be used.STRING statement to concatenate string variables.[x y]" to concatenate x and y.+" sign but, this leads to ambiguity if a string representing a number and a number is added together.&" and the function "=CONCATENATE(X,Y)".String literals
This section compares styles for declaring a string literal.
Quoted raw
"Raw" meaning that the interpreter/compiler does not recognize any variable or constant identifiers located inside the string and the content of the identifier will not replace the identifier in the string.
Quoted interpolated
"Interpolated" means that the interpreter/compiler does recognize a variable or constant identifier located inside the string and the content of the identifier will replace the identifier in the string.
Escaped quotes
"Escaped" quotes means that a 'flag' symbol is used to warn that the character after the flag is used in the string rather than ending the string.
Dual quoting
"Dual quoting" means that whenever a quote is used in a string, it is used twice, and one of them is discarded and the single quote is then used within the string.
