Hello everyone! Today's journey will explore Special Character Sequences in Go. We'll delve into widely-used escape sequences – like newline or tab.
In Go, escape sequences are characters prefixed with a backslash (\
), each having a unique behavior. They're convenient for creating line breaks, inserting tab spaces, or including a backslash or quotes in a string.
Here's an example of the newline character (\n
) in use:
The output appears on two distinct lines!
The \n
serves as your in-code line breaker, allowing you to split the output efficiently and improve readability. Observe it at work:
As you can see, "Go" and "Programming" are neatly broken into separate lines, all thanks to \n
.
In Go, \t
is used to insert a tab space. This is handy for aligning output or creating gaps in your text.
