C Escape sequence

Escape sequences is combination of two or more characters. of c programming have 256 characters. and each have an ASCII code to that meaning are understand by system. escape sequence are start with '\' (backslash) symbol. so backslash and few character are provide a special meaning to system. here given list of Escape sequence and its behaviours.

Example of Escape sequence

/b (Backspace) : it will move course one space backwards.

/* 
Example Escape sequence ('\b')
*/

 return 0;
}}

Output

a,c,e 

\n (Newline) :

/* 
Example Escape sequence ('\n')
*/
/*Header file*/
#include <stdio.h>
int main(){
 printf("1\n2\n3\n4\n5");
 return 0;
}

Output

1
2
3
4
5

\r : Example

/* 
  Example Escape sequence ('\r')
  */
  /*Header file*/
#include <stdio.h>
int main(){
  printf("Language \r C programming \n");
  printf("Topic \r Escape sequence \n");
  return 0;
}

Output

 Escape sequence 

\f : Example

/* 
  Example Escape sequence ('\f')
  */
  /*Header file*/
  #include <stdio.h>
  int main(){
  printf("A\fB\fC\fD\fE\fF");
  return 0;
}

Output

 B
  C
   D
    E
     F

\t : Example

/* 
  Example Escape sequence ('\t')
  */
  /*Header file*/
#include <stdio.h>
int main(){
  printf("c\tcpp\tjava\tpython");
  return 0;
}

Output

c cpp   java    python

\v : Example

/* 
  Example Escape sequence ('\v')
  */
  /*Header file*/
 #include <stdio.h>
int main() {
  printf("c\vcpp\vjava\vpython");
  return 0;
}

Output

    java
        python

Print ASCII in Escape sequence

/* 
  print ASCII in Escape sequence
  */
  /*Header file*/
  #include <stdio.h>
  int main() {
  printf("ASCII IN DECIMAL\n");
  printf("\\t : %d\n",'\t');
  printf("\\b : %d\n",'\b');
  printf("\\v : %d\n",'\v');
  printf("\\f : %d\n",'\f');
  printf("\\a : %d\n",'\a');
  printf("\\? : %d\n",'\?');
  printf("\\n : %d\n",'\n');
  printf("\\r : %d\n",'\r');
  printf("\\' : %d\n",'\'');
  printf("\\  : %d\n",'\\');
  printf("\"  : %d\n",'\"');
  return 0;
}

Output:

ASCII IN DECIMAL
\t : 9
\b : 8
\v : 11
\f : 12
\a : 7
\? : 63
\n : 10
\r : 13
\' : 39
\  : 92
"  : 34
