Escape characters and file.gcount

Escape characters

All Escape Character have its importance in C++.

I am sending u some common Escape characters. \a = alarm or alert \b = it is used for backspace. \t = it is used for tab(long space) \n = it is used for new line. \f = it is used for form feed. \r = it is used for return to the start of the same line. \\ = it is used to print one back slash. \" = it is used to print the inverted commas. All these escape characters will be used in double commas. I think just reading them is not sufficient. you should make practice of all these urself atleast once than all will be clear.

Thanks
