rustrust string backslash

A backslash (\) is a special character in Rust strings that can be used to escape certain characters. For example, if you want to include a double quote (") in a string, you can use a backslash to escape it.

Example code

let my_string = "This is a string with a \"double quote\" in it";

Output example

This is a string with a "double quote" in it

Code explanation

• let: This is a keyword used to declare a variable.
• my_string: This is the name of the variable being declared.
• "This is a string with a \"double quote\" in it": This is the string being assigned to the variable. The backslash (\) is used to escape the double quote (") so that it is included in the string.
