I would like to print a backslash character:

\

But whne I try to use escape characters

print(\"\"\)

I get a syntax error. I have looked into ecape characters, however is their a specific one for backslash ()?

Answer 1

If you do

print("\")

you are escaping the final quote.

You need to escape the backslash.

print("\\")

Answer 2

It is simple, just escape the escape character itself:

print("\\")
