Use the verbatim symbol to write a multiline string literal in C#

In C#, we can use the verbatim symbol to create a verbatim string. A verbatim string is a string that contains multiple lines. This symbol is @. The correct syntax to use this symbol is as follows

string verbatim = @" ";

The program below shows how we can use the @ symbol to write a multiline string.

using System;
using System.IO;


class MultilineString
{
    static void Main()
    {
string multiline = @"My name is Sarah.
I am a girl.
I am happy.";
Console.WriteLine(multiline);        
    }
}

Output:

My name is Sarah.
I am a girl.
I am happy.
