Escape sequences in Java

Table of Content:
Escape sequences in Java are special sequences of characters that are used to represent certain characters that are difficult to represent directly in a string. Escape sequences are preceded by a backslash \
and are used to include characters in a string that would otherwise be difficult to include, such as newline characters or quotation marks.
Here are some common escape sequences in Java:
1. \n: Newline
System.out.println("Hello\nWorld");
2. \t: Tab
System.out.println("Hello\tWorld");
3. \b: Backspace
System.out.println("Hello\bWorld");
4. \r: Carriage Return
System.out.println("Hello\rWorld");
5. \: Backslash
System.out.println("This is a backslash: \\");
6. ': Single Quote
System.out.println("This is a single quote: \'");
7. ": Double Quote
System.out.println("This is a double quote: \"");
8. \u####: Unicode Escape
System.out.println("This is a Unicode character: \u03A9");
