Escape sequences in C

Escape sequences are used in the programming languages C and C++, and also in many more languages (with some variations) like Java and C#. An escape sequence is a sequence of characters that does not represent itself when used inside a character or string literal, but is translated into another character or a sequence of characters that may be difficult or impossible to represent directly.
