    use " " for strings and ' ' for single characters. Ie: 'A', '1', "Hello". Obs: '1' != 1 (the character 1 is NOT the number 1.

    In some cases, you can actually use the ' ' (single quotes) to also define a string constant in a long... for example:


    unsigned long identTag;


    identTag = 'BLUE';

    It's a 32-bit hex number. you can't use it for more than 4 bytes.
