What is the meaning of escape characters in the C language?
In C language, escape characters are special sequences used to represent certain special characters. They start with a backslash (\), followed by a character, to represent characters that cannot be directly inputted or have special meanings.
Here are some common escape characters and their meanings:
- newline character
- Tab: Tabulation character
- \r: carriage return character
- Backspace symbol
- \a: Alarm (ring) symbol
- Backslash

By using escape characters, it is possible to insert special characters into a string or represent some invisible characters, allowing for more versatile string processing.
