How can I print double quotes ("") in java where parameters are used to print the value?

Question

Below is my code:

String str = "something";
char ch = 'e';
int noOfOcc = 1;
System.out.println("No of occurrences of '"+ch+"' in "+str+" is "+noOfOcc);

Expected output should be as follows:

No of occurrences of 'e' in "something" is 1

How can I print that something in double quotes? I need solution for this case where we are using variables in System.out.println();. and I need the value of that variable in double quotes.

Use a backslash to escape your double quotes – Stuart Jul 07 '16 at 10:11 — Stuart, Jul 07 '16 at 10:11

Escape it using \" so that the complier knows not to treat your " as something to demarcate the start or end of a String.

This way:

System.out.println("No of occurrences of '"+ch+"' in \""+str+"\" is "+noOfOcc);

Backward slash acts as escape sequence to print double quotes.
Compiler don't interpret the character after slash symbol.

System.out.println("No of occurances of '"+ch+"' in \""+str+"\""+" is "+noOfOcc); Thanks. This worked for me. – Partha Sarathi Jul 08 '16 at 06:11
