How to print double backslash?

Question

Is there an easy way to print "\\" in a Latex document? I tried using \\\ and it threw an error.

It's easy in verbatim: \verb+\\+ Of course, the appearance depends on the style you want, as @egreg has asked. — barbara beeton, Jan 10 '20 at 14:57

To print a "\", use \backslash in math mode and \textbackslash in text mode. To print "\\", use the command twice.
