Short Info for topics covered in the video An Escape Sequence is a combination of characters (starting with a backslash \) that has a special meaning to the interpreter/compiler.
Common Sequences:
\n: New Line – Moves the cursor to the beginning of the next line.
\t: Horizontal Tab – Adds a tab space between characters.
\': Single Quote – Prints a single quote inside a string.
\": Double Quote – Prints a double quote inside a string.
\\: Backslash – Prints a literal backslash character.
\b: Backspace – Moves cursor one character back.
\r: Carriage return – Moves cursor to the starting of the line
Other Sequences (For Knowledge):
\f: Form Feed – Historically used for page breaks.
\ooo: Character based on an Octal value (e.g., \101 = 'A').
\xhh: Character based on a Hexadecimal value (e.g.: \x41 = 'A', \x42 = 'B').
