Whether you are struggling with syntax errors when using quotes or just want to format your output cleanly with new lines and tabs, this guide covers it all. We also look at some "secret" advanced sequences for a complete understanding of how Python handles text!

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').
