1Z0-829 Practice Question: Handling Date, Time, Text, Numeric and Boolean Values

Correct answer & explanation
✓
"""line1 line2"""
It uses the Java text block syntax, which starts and ends with three double-quote characters (""") and places the content on a new line after the opening delimiter. The text block preserves the line break and indentation, making it ideal for multi-line strings without escape sequences.
