=====Constant Escape Sequences=====
The following escape sequences can be used to define certain special characters
within strings:
^ Escape Sequence ^ Description ^
|\'|Single quote|
|\"|Double quote|
|\\|Backslash|
|\nnn|Octal number (nnn)|
|\0|Null character (really just the octal number zero)|
|\a|Audible bell|
|\b|Backspace|
|\f|Formfeed|
|\n|Newline|
|\r|Carriage return|
|\t|Horizontal tab|
|\v|Vertical tab|
|\xnnn|Hexadecimal number (nnn)|
An example of this is contained in the following code (which assumes that the
newline character generates complete newlines, i.e. on Unix systems):
printf( "This\nis\na\ntest\n\nShe said, \"How are you?\"\n" );
which would display
This
is
a
test
She said, "How are you?"
