Some people are very fond of their C style strings (single quotes)...
"Strings should always use double quotes. Some people are very fond of their C style strings (single quotes), but this leads to conflicting styles within a script."
Maybe I've read this statement incorrectly, but:
C strings are double quoted not single quoted.
char *s = "hello world";
C characters are single quoted.
char c = 'c';
This is also the case with C++ (naturally), Java and C#. In fact Javascript is the only vaguely C'ish language which comes to mind that doesn't follow this convention.
Woah, I hit "e" accidentally and it closed the issue. Apologies.
JavaScript is not able to differentiate between a phrase and a single character, as both are considered strings. I did not know that other languages could, so if the passage is vague then I hope you understand. I'm not a native C coder.
