Use of Escape Sequences with example in C++ programming Language. Learn C++ full course

 

Escape sequences:

• you can also use '\n', which denotes a newline character, to advance the cursor to the next line.
• Similarly, you could use '\t', which denote a tab character, to advance the cursor to the next tab position.
• ‘\a’ this escape sequence is used to play beep during execution.
• '\b' Whenever we want to delete a single character, we press the button “backspace” from our keyboard. The same functionality can be achieved in C++ output with this escape sequence.
•  \’ To insert a single quote in the output, this escape sequence is used.
•  \” To insert a double quote in the output, this escape sequence is used.

Escape sequences examples:

cout << "hello world, again!\n";

cout << "\thello, ";

Output:
