Question

Give the use of these escape sequence characters in Java in one or two lines with an example each. i) \\ ii) \t iii) \’

Answer 1

(i) \\

Used to represent a backslash in a string. This is because a regular backslash is used to indicate escape sequences.

(ii)

Used to represent a horizontal tab space in a string.

(iii)

Used to indicate a single inverted comma in a string (since a character is represented as 'c', representation of inverted comma should be '\'')
