Escape characters and file.gcount

Escape characters

All Escape Character have its importance in C++.

I am sending u some common Escape characters.

\a = alarm or alert
\b = it is used for backspace.
\t = it is used for tab(long space)
\n = it is used for new line.
\f = it is used for form feed.
\r = it is used for return to the start of the same line.
\\ = it is used to print one back slash.
\" = it is used to print the inverted commas.

All these escape characters will be used in double commas.


I think just reading them is not sufficient. you should make practice of all these urself atleast once than all will be clear.

Thanks

About gcount:

Example

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12

// cin.gcount example #include <iostream> // std::cin, std::cout int main () { char str[20]; std::cout << "Please, enter a word: "; std::cin.getline(str,20); std::cout << std::cin.gcount() << " characters read: " << str << '\n'; return 0; }

Edit & Run

Possible output:

Please, enter a word: simplify 9 characters read: simplify
