This is verbatim string. Putting any special character after "\" sign ignoresthe next character for compilation.

By using printf("\n"); we get blankscreen as \n is a white space character but printf("\\n"); gives output as \n

Actually, printf ("\n") : will skip a line leaving the current line.

Usually we use \n, never heard about"\\n". When we have to use this?

\n -> takes the control to the newline if we give printf("\n").
So if we add one more \ it loses the newline property.
printf("\\n") -> it will print \n
printf("\\b") -> it prints \b
So if we add one more \ it loses the newline property.
printf("\\n") -> it will print \n
printf("\\b") -> it prints \b

The question is quite ambiguous - not clear whether a string or the character \n is wanted t print.
