Concatnating strings that are too long for one line

[691175002]

Hi, this is a really simple question but I can't figure it out. If I want to pass a really long string to a function, it is really inconvenient to keep it all on one line since then I need to scroll horizontally to see it all.

I first tried using the + operator like:

function ("Long " +
    "String");

However apparently I can't do that.

I also tried:

function ("Long \
    String");

But for some reason the backslash seems to introduce extra characters into the string and causes my function to fail.

I'm sure there has got to be a way to do this.

Let the compiler do the concatenation for you:

function("Long "
         "String");

This relies on the fact that adjacent string literals are combined into a single string literal, and that whitespace is not significant in this context.
