Uxntal Strings

Uxntal has superficial support to convert raw ascii characters into bytes. The string token begins with the double-quote character ", there is no escaping of special characters. Here are a few string types that can be created using anonymous labels:

@null-string "Hello 20 "world. 00
@counted-string _{ "ordinator }
@linked-string ={ "turnip }

This token type can also be used to inline characters, for example, the following example will push the hexadecimal value 0x61 on the stack before printing the letter "b".

LIT "a INC .Console/write DEO

To help understand how whitespace bytes have to be written explicitly, or macroed, here is what the same string looks like in C:

@ask "Say 20 ""Silly"! 0a00
char ask[] = "Say \"Silly\"!\n";
