Question

Assertion (A): Use of escape sequence becomes necessary in programs at a certain point in time.

Reason (R): Certain non-graphic characters cannot be typed directly through the keyboard.

Options

• Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is a correct explanation of Assertion (A).

• Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is not a correct explanation of Assertion (A).

• Assertion (A) is true and Reason (R) is false.

• Assertion (A) is false and Reason (R) is true.

Answer 1

Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is a correct explanation of Assertion (A).

Explanation:
Escape sequences are used to represent special or non-graphic characters (such as \n for a new line and \t for a tab) that cannot be typed directly from the keyboard.

Therefore, the reason correctly explains why escape sequences are needed.
