C# program to print backslash (\)

Printing a backslash (\) in C#: Here, we are going to learn how to print a backslash (\) in C# after the message, between the message and anywhere else? By IncludeHelp Last updated : April 15, 2023

C# printing a backslash (\)

In C#, \ is a special character (sign) – that is used for escape sequences like to print a new line – we use \n, to print a tab – we use \t etc.

In this case, if we write \ within the message – it will throw an error "Unrecognized escape sequence".

To print a backslash (\), we have to use a double backslash (\\).

C# code to print a backslash

In the below example – we are printing backslash, \n, \t etc

// C# program to print backslash (\)
using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Text;

namespace IncludeHelp {
  class Test {
    // Main Method 
    static void Main(string[] args) {
      // printing "\" 
      Console.WriteLine("\\");

      // printing between string "\"
      Console.WriteLine("Hello\\World");

      // printing "\"n and "\"t
      Console.WriteLine("\\n\\t");

      //hit ENTER to exit the program
      Console.ReadLine();
    }
  }
}

Output

\
Hello\World
\n\t
