C Escape Sequence

C allows us to have certain non graphic characters in character constants. Non graphic characters are those characters that cannot be typed directly from keyboard, for example, tabs, carriage return, etc.

These non graphic characters can be represented by using escape sequences represented by a backslash(\) followed by one or more characters.

Escape Sequence	Description
\a	Alert
\b	Backspace
\f	Formfeed
\n	Newline
\r	Carriage return
\t	Horizontal tab
\v	Vertical tab
\\	Backslash
\"	Double quotation
\'	Single quotation
\?	Question Mark

EXAMPLE

#include<stdio.h >
int main()
{
printf("Hello\nfrom programe.");
return(0);
}

OUTPUT:

Hello
from programe.
