I know this is slightly off topic, but it still has something to do with computers eh?

So I'm in a beginner computer science class, and I'm supposed to write a string that produces «/\/"\/\»


So I wrote this

class Homework1B {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("«/\\/"\\/\\»");
}
}

But then it's giving me an "illegal character /92" on the middle ". Any ideas?

Also if anyone could tell me how I'm supposed to write Unicode, it'd be cool. I'm supposed to write the « and » via Unicode, which is apparently done by holding down Alt and then entering U+00AB and U+00BB, but it ain't workin'.

i dont know java i only took c#

needs proper escape character for the " in the middle of your println

Right now, the compiler thinks that " at the middle is the end of your text, and is looking for ); right after, but it does not, so it throws up an error

I'm in kind of the same boat as you. This semester I'm taking C++ and I still don't know what I'm doing yet.

Alright so I changed it up a bit and then it's working now, but then for some reason the stupid program won't accept a copypasted «» (it turns into ?s), so it still fails me. This sucks man.

Edit: Okay I got this program that decodes unicode, but then it still doesn't recognize it. Alright, time to skip this question!

As for the unicode, try this:

\u00AA for <<
\u00BB for >>

As for the unicode, try this:

\u00AA for <<
\u00BB for >>

Ah, that did the trick. Thanks man.

Np. ;)
