c++ cout

in c++ how would you write a program that when run writes " this (") is a quote, and this (\) is a backslash."

\" and \\. the \ is a so called escape character within strings

[rpgfan3233]

Just for future reference, the "\" character isn't an escape character for just C++, but many modern programming languages. JavaScript makes use of it as well.

so does freebasic, if you use option escape. :wink:

:evil: Do what? You mean I been using CHR$(34) + " <- This is a quote" all this time? when all I needed:

Code:

option escape

PRINT "\" <- This is a quote"

:rotfl:

Its stuff like this that makes you feel like a n00b again....

You can also do

Code:

PRINT """ <- This is a quote"

with or without Option Escape.
