Python Escape characters

In string literals we can use escape characters  to associate a special meaning 

>>> s=“demo\ndemob”

>>> print(s)

demo

demob

>>> s=“demo\ndemob”

>>> print(s)

demo demob

>>> s=“This is “symbol”

  File “<stdin>”, line 1 

     s=“This is “ symbol”

                       ^

SyntaxError: invalid syntax 

>>> s=“This is \” symbol”

>>> print(s)

This is “ symbol

The following are various important escape characters in python 

\n —> New line 

\t —> horizontal tab

\r —> carriage return 

\b —> back space

\f —> form feed 

\v —> vertical tab 

\’ —> single quote 

\” —> double quote

\\ —> back slash symbol 

Constants 

Constants concept is not applicable in python 

But it is convention to use only uppercase characters if we don’t want to change value 

MAX_VALUE = 10

It is just convention but we can change the value.
