Escape Sequences and Special Characters in Strings (Learn To Program With Huw)

Description:
Strings often need to include special characters such as linefeeds and tabs. In most programming languages these are entered in the form of ‘escape sequences’ – code letters following a backslash. In this lesson I explain how escape sequences are used and why some of them are rarely ever used these days (though they used to be, years ago!)

I have spent over 40 years programming, teaching other people to program, writing programming books and working as a software developer. In this course, I aim to distil the knowledge that I’ve gained to help you to understand the art and science of computer programming.

PROGRAMMING BOOKS
====================
If you want to learn C# and Java programming in more depth (and also support this channel!) you might think of buying one of my books. I have written books on C programming, Object Pascal (Delphi), Ruby and other languages. If you want to follow this course using Java, you may find my Java book useful:

The Little Book Of Java Programming
Amazon (US) https://amzn.to/2R7tpwF
Amazon (UK) https://amzn.to/39Fc6cC

If you are following the course using C#, I recommend this book:

The Little Book Of C# Programming

Good luck! And good programming!
