## ACL2 Strings

Strings of ACL2 characters are written as sequences of characters delimited by ``double quotation marks'' ("). To put a double quotation mark in a string (or, any other character such as backslash or newline that seems to cause problems), escape it by preceding it with a backslash (\).

The function `stringp` recognizes strings and `char` will fetch the nth character of a string. There are many other primitives for handling strings, such as `string<` for comparing two strings lexicographically. We suggest you See programming where we list all of the primitive ACL2 functions. Alternatively, see any Common Lisp language documentation.
