Break up a string literal over multiple lines

ProFesh :

Is there a way to break up a line of code so that it is read as continuous despite being on a new line in java?

public String toString() {

  return String.format("BankAccount[owner: %s, balance: %2$.2f,\
    interest rate: %3$.2f,", myCustomerName, myAccountBalance, myIntrestRate);
  }

The code above when I do this all on one line everything works dandy but when I try to do this on multiple lines it doesn't work.

In python I know you use a \ to start typing on a new line but print as one line when executed.

A Example in Python to clarify. In python this will print on one line using a backslash or ():

print('Oh, youre sure to do that, said the Cat,\
 if you only walk long enough.')

the User would see this as:

Oh, youre sure to do that, said the Cat, if you only walk long enough.

Is there similar ways to do this in java?? Thank you!

Break up the string on the new line using + operator works.

public String toString() {
    return String.format("BankAccount[owner: %s, balance: "
            + "%2$.2f, interest rate:"
            + " %3$.2f]", 
            myCustomerName, 
            myAccountBalance, myIntrestRate);
}

Sample Output: BankAccount[owner: TestUser, balance: 100.57, interest rate: 12.50]
