Escape Sequence in C#

C# contains various escape characters, which defines how the data should be printed on the output stream. Each escape character begins with a backslash, followed by a specific token.

Below is a table explaining the escape characters:

Escape Character	Description
\’	Inserts a single quote into a string literal
\”	Inserts a double quote into a string literal
\\	Inserts a backslash into a string literal. Used in defining file paths etc.
\a	Triggers a System sound.
\n	Inserts a new line
\r	Inserts a carriage return
\t	Inserts a horizontal tab into a string literal

Below is the sample code explaining the above escape characters:

Console.WriteLine("\"Hello World\"");
Console.WriteLine("\'Hello World\'");
Console.WriteLine("D:\\MyFiles\\MyPic.jpg");
Console.WriteLine("System Sound: \a");
Console.WriteLine("Hello\nNew Line");
Console.WriteLine("Orange\tYellow\tRed");

Below is the result of above code. You will also hear a system sound when this code is run.
