Question
In the context of this exercise, what other escape sequences are there?
Answer
There are several other escape sequences available in addition to \n
and \t
. A few useful ones to know about are the following.
The quotation escape sequences \'
and \"
are useful when adding these quotes within a string wrapped in the same type of quotations.
# Single quotations
string = 'I\'m coding!'
print(string) # I'm coding!
# Double quotations
string2 = "\"Hello World!\""
print(string2) # "Hello World!"
Another useful escape sequence to know about is the backslash \\
, which allows you to show backslashes without it converting to some escape sequence in the string.
string3 = "The \\n escape sequence adds a newline"
print(string3) # The \n escape sequence adds a newline
