how to make the c compiler print \n

how to make the c compiler print \n

Assuming you mean the pair of characters, \n, as opposed to a newline character:

printf("\\n");

Depends what you need.

Either:

printf("\\n"); /* prints \n */

or:

printf("\n");  /* prints newline */

printf("\\n"); Escape sequence \\ represents \

How about

#error "\\n"

You can use \\n to print \n

printf( "\\n"  );

\n

putchar('\\');
putchar('n');

You can use escape char \ printf("\\n");
