If you set your mind to it and search long enough, I'd say you could do most of the things you want with any of both.

That's what ment by loosly typed vs strongly typed.

C# is strongly typed, everything is of a certain type.

In php it's loosly, it can be anything as you say. Just like VB6 supports the Variant type and also doesn't require to declare variables (when you work with Option Strict)

php,
you can fit "anything" in a var..
string, int, char :)

C#
a var can only contain one type of data-struct, no?

Jerry Pisk: That's what I ment, yes. I'm not a native English speaker, but I did mention it was seen as a literal and without escaping. :)

Justin Rogers: Ok, didn't knew all of that. Only wanted to make clear that a string is different from a char, and with all the extra info you gave it's even more obvious :)

Strings are not stored the way you mention in your post. They are specifically stored with at least an array length, string length, and an array of WCHAR. ArrayLength can be larger than StringLength and there is a null terminating character applied to the end, so at least that much was correct. Strings have far more overhead than a simple extra WCHAR....

DWORD m_ArrayLength;
DWORD m_StringLength;
WCHAR m_Characters[0];

String literals starting with @ are not string where you don't have to escape special characters, they are strings where you can't escape those. Don't have to would mean that you can, but don't have to if you don't want to but that's not how @ strings work. @ just ignore standard escape sequences, \ is considered a literal \ character, not an escape sequence mark. You cannot use escape sequences at all in @ strings. If you want to include a new line character in your string you can't use @ literal.
