Escape Sequences in Strings
Quotes are not the only characters that can be escaped inside a string. Here is a table of common escape sequences:
Code | Output |
---|---|
\' | single quote |
\" | double quote |
\ | backslash |
\n | new line |
\r | carriage return |
\t | tab |
\b | backspace |
\f | form feed |
Note that the backslash itself must be escaped in order to display as a backslash.
