"Double Quote"Initiates or terminates a string (variables expanded)
Double quote is used to initiate and terminate strict strings where variables can be expanded.
Commands can also be quoted using double quotes (eg where a command might contain a space character in it’s name) however variables cannot be used as part of a command name.
