Escape Sequences in C Programming:-

An escape sequence always begins with backward slash and is followed by one or more special characters.
 For example:-
a line feed (LF), which is referred to as new line in C can be represented as \n.

  • Backslash character constants are special characters used in output functions.
  • Although they contain two characters they represent only one character.
