Escape Sequences That Represent Control Characters

Introduction

Because the backslash signals the start of an escape sequence, to enter a backslash, use two successive backslashes \\.

The following code that uses escape sequences outputs a message to the screen.

#include <iostream>

int main()//from w w  w  . ja v a2 s  .  co  m
{
  std::cout << "\"Least \'said\' \\\n\t\tsoonest \'mended\'.\"" << std::endl;
}
