ESCAPE SEQUENCE CHARACTERS
Escape sequence characters are used to represent certain special characters that cannot be
directly printed on the output screen. They begin with a backslash (\), followed by a specific
letter or symbol. Following are some of the important escape sequence characters:
Escape Sequence Character Description
\' Inserts a single quote (')
\" Inserts a double quote (")
\? Inserts a question mark (?)
\\ Inserts a backslash (\)
\b Moves the cursor one step back (Backspace)
\f Moves to a new page (Form feed)
\n Moves to a new line (Line break)
\r Moves to the beginning of the line (Carriage return)
\t Adds a horizontal tab (Space between words)
\v Adds a vertical tab (Spaces text vertically)
Let us write a C++ program to use the escape sequence characters.
#include<iostream.h>
#include<conio.h>
void main()
{
clrscr();
cout<< "The \\n is used to add\n a line break.\n";
cout<< "The \\t is used to add\t horizontal tab.\n";
cout<< "1\n1 1\n1 1 1\n1 1 1 1\n";
getch();
}
When you run the above code, you will get the output as shown:
DOSBox 0.74, Cpu speed: max 100% cycles, Frameskip 0,
The \n is used to add
a line break.
The \t is used to add horizontal tab.
