Question

Write at least and explain four types of escape sequences and create an example in an IDE which consist of the mentioned escape sequences.

Answer 1

Answer:

- \' is used to escape a single quote in a string enclosed in single quotes like;

my_string = 'this is John\'s ball'.

- \n is used to jump to a new line, Eg;

my_string = "Johns is a good boy\nbut he hates going to school."

the next set of the string after the '\n' character is displayed on the next line.

- \t is used to add a tab space to a string.

my_string = 'Jane is \thungry'

the character adds four character spaces before the word 'hungry'.

- \r adds a carriage return (or enter in keyboards) to start a new block paragraph in a string.

my_string = "Johns is a good boy\rbut he hates going to school."
