Strings and Quotes

Part of the Your First App section of Coddy's Flutter journey. Lesson 5 of 32.

A string starts and ends with a quote. That makes an apostrophe tricky: in 'It's', Dart thinks the string ends after It, and the rest is not code it understands. The app does not even start.

There are two ways out. Put a backslash before the apostrophe, so Dart knows it is part of the string:

Text('It\'s raining')

Or start and end the string with double quotes. Dart accepts both kinds, so inside double quotes an apostrophe is just a letter:

Text("It's raining")

Challenge

Easy

The app shows Its my app. Fix the spelling so it shows It's my app, with the apostrophe.

Try it yourself

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

void main() {
  runApp(const MyApp());
}

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  const MyApp({super.key});

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return MaterialApp(
      debugShowCheckedModeBanner: false,
      home: Scaffold(
        body: Center(
          child: Text('Its my app'),
        ),
      ),
    );
  }
}
