You can use “#” to escape/pad strings in swift.

let name = "Nathan"
print(#"Hello \#(name)"#)
// prints: Hello Nathan

print(#"Insert "Some Stuff" here"#)
// prints: Insert "Some Stuff" here

It can be helpful for writing more readable code, since using “" to escape can be tedious.

Fun fact: This feature was developed by a student at Georgia Tech!
