Control characters are special characters that do not appear on the screen but control the display of output and other functions.
- They do not correspond to a keyboard character and are represented by an escape sequence.
- An escape sequence starts with an escape character, which is the backslash (
\) in Python.
Common Escape Sequences:
\n: Newline (starts a new line)\t: Tab (inserts a tab space)\\: Backslash (inserts a backslash)\': Single quote (inserts a single quote)\": Double quote (inserts a double quote)
