Question

Write short notes on Escape sequences with examples.

Answer 1

Escape Sequences:
In Python strings, the backslash “\” is a special character, also called the “escape” character. It is used in representing certain whitespace characters: “\t” is a tab, “\n” is a new line, and “\r” is a carriage return. For example to print the message “It’s raining”, the Python command is >>> print (“It\’s raining”)
It’s raining
Python supports the following escape sequence characters. 

Escape sequence character	Description	Example	Output
\\	Backslash	>>> print("\\test")	\test
\'	Single-quote	>>> print("Doesn\'t")	Doesn't
\"	Double-quote	>>> print("\"Python\"")	"Python"
\n	New line	print("Python","\n","Lang.")	Python Lang..
\t	Tab	print("Python","\t","Lang..")	Python Lang..
