Special Character
Menu
Special characters are characters that have a special meaning in the language and cannot be represented directly in a string literal. To include special characters in a string, you need to use escape sequences.
Escape sequences begin with the backslash (\) character, and are followed by a character or a combination of characters that represent the special character. Here are some common escape sequences in C#:
- \’ – represents a single quote character
- \” – represents a double quote character
- \\ – represents a backslash character
- \n – represents a new line character
- \r – represents a carriage return character
- \t – represents a horizontal tab character
Here’s an example of how to use escape sequences to include special characters in a string:
string str = "This string contains a \"quote\" character and a \nnew line.";
Console.WriteLine(str);
In the example above, the escape sequences \” and \n are used to include a double quote character and a new line character in the string str. When the code is executed, the string is printed to the console with the special characters included.
