Question: I am new to java and I am supposed to get an output like the following:

Type in your first name: John

```
Hi, "John"
The name of this exercise is 'Modifying printing'.
Tabulator, line change and quotations have already been used in this exercise.
Backward slash (\) is also usable in printing.

```

**End of exercise**

But I couldn't get the name part, John, within `" "`. Please any one help me. My code looks as follows:

---

```
import java.util.Scanner;
public class apples {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String s;
String m;
Scanner reader= new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.print("Type in your first name: ");
s= reader.nextLine();
m="Forward slash (\\) is also usable in printing.";
System.out.println();
System.out.println();
System.out.println("Hi, "+s);
System.out.println("\tThe name of this exercise is 'Modifying printing'.");
System.out.println("\tTabulator, line change and quotations have already been used in   this exercise.");
System.out.println("\t"+m);
System.out.println();
System.out.println();
System.out.println("\t\t*** End of exercise ***");
}
}

```

Answer: 
```
 System.out.println("Hi, \"" + s + "\"");

```

where \ is used to escape the following ".

search for "escaping characters in java" in your favourite search engine.

Have fun getting started with Java!
You have to escape the ".

To do that you use the \ character.

So if you want to print Hello "John", you could do `System.out.println("Hello \"John\"")`;
