Azure devops pipeline single quote and space in parameters

Dummy question may be but one thing that always confused me is the whether the space between {{}} should be there and also if the single quote should be there.

Are single quotes necessary?

'$(AzureConnectionName)'   VS $(AzureConnectionName)

Is the space required ?

'${{connectivity}}' VS  '${{ connectivity }}'

I know they are silly questions but could not find the answer.

Thanks

If you use some special characters in your parameters, the output may be different. For example, here is my YAML configuration:

parameters:
- name: test
  default: test&
  type: string

steps:
- script: echo '${{ parameters.test }}' 
- script: echo ${{ parameters.test }}   
- pwsh: echo '${{ parameters.test }}'   
- pwsh: echo ${{ parameters.test }}

Result:

So when you are dealing with special characters in parameters, please pay attention to the single quotes.

Is the space required ?

No, the space is not required. '${{connectivity}}' and'${{ connectivity }}' are the same.
