Strings, Escape Sequences and Comments : Python Tutorial #4

[@johncherry108]

Escape sequences like and \t use a backslash (\) and not a slash (/). The computer treats slash and backslash differently, so it's very important to know the difference and not mix them up. In the beginning, the slash character was used by Unix and similar operating systems to separate directories in a path, and the backslash was used in escape sequences. Then along came Microsoft, and (to be different) they chose the backslash as a path separator (as in C:\system32\...). Escape sequences were unknown in MSDOS/Windows so people started calling the backslash character (\) 'slash'. As I said, it's very important to know the difference and not mix them up.

In Indian schools it is normal to say "slash n" or "slash t". We know the difference. It may just an Indian IT English thing. Thanks.

Why len(' ') is 1 as shown in your video?

[@AmeerFazal]

Because it is a single character: an escape character.
