Escape Sequences and ASCII Values

Escape Sequences:

Escape Sequence	Description
\n	New Line
\t	Horizontal Tab (Print 8 spaces)
\b	Back space
\f	New Page (Form feed)
\a	Audible Bell
\r	Carriage Returns (Bring The Positon of Cursor to initial Position)
\v	Vertical Tab
\\	Prints Slash

How to use them?

To print any of the Escape Sequence you will write in the following way as one is being shown for you:

printf (“\n”);//For C

cout<<”\n”;//For C++

Key Point:

•          Most commonly use escape sequence are first three while other are rarely used.
•          In C++ Usually we use “endl” to change the line. For example: cout<<”1”<<endl<<2;

Now let’s see how they works one Example Program is being written for you below.

Example:

How to print above sequence(Triangle)  using escape sequences without using loop or recursion ?

1 2 3 4 5

#include<stdio.h> int main() { printf(" *\n **\n ***\n****\n"); }

Before 1^st Star three Manually Spaces are given then before two stars of the 2^nd line two spaces are manually written then before three stars in 3^rd line manually print one space.

ASCII Codes

What are ASCII Codes?

ASCII(American Standard Code for Information Interchange) Codes are printable character codes among them 32-177 are commonly Used .The consist of Numbers ,Characters, Letters and few Symbols ever character on your Keyboard can be find in ASCII Codes Tables .

Table of ASCII Code is below:

How to use them?

printf(“%c”,65);//For C

cout<<(char)65;//For C++

This will print the character values of the integer (Decimal) i.e. A. Similar Any Decimal value from the above can be printed into character by this way.

How to Print the Decimal Value of ASCII Code?

printf(“%d”,’A’);//For C

cout<<(int)’A’;//For C++
