Spaces can visualize where the tokens end.
For example:
All echo arguments are in "quotes", where $var and $( ) and $(( )) are evaluated.
But not in 'ticks', for example
And see what an unquoted
does!
The "quotes" are mostly used in command arguments; they evaluate $ as shown but not special characters like *.
An assignment like
does not need quotes, because the right side is not a command argument.
For quotes within quotes, one can sometimes choose the different quote types.
Or use a \ single-character quoting, preferably outside the quoted strings, using a simple string concatenation.
