Escape Sequences in Strings

• Escape sequences allow you to use characters you might not otherwise be able to type out, such as a word boundary.
• By following this diagram with character combinations you will be able to assign escape sequences to the string.
• ’ single quote
• " double quote
• \ backslash
• \n new line
• \r carriage return
• \t tab
• \b word boundary
• \f form feed
• The challenge requires that you don't use space between characters.
