What is difference between single and double quotes?

Question

i am new to java script and dont understand what are double wuotes for, could someone explain this to me?

Answer 1

Simple and double quotes works same in JS... the only obvious difference is that to handle them inside themselve you must escape them:

alert("He said \"I love potatoes\" "); // OK
alert('I\'m a little bird'); //OK

Rest is question of tastes... I personnaly keep the habits to use simple quotes, so I can easily embed Html code in strings, with the habit to use double quotes for Html code ^^

Answer 2

You can include single quotes in double quotes :
alert('Hey!');//OK
alert('He said "I love potatoes" ');//error
alert("I'm a little bird");//OK

If you don't understand ask !

Answer 3

Answer 4

Ok, now i understand it bettwr ^^
Thanks for explaining <3

Answer 5

You can use simple quotes but if one day you have to write a sentence with an apostrophee, it won't work.
