<#779#><#779#> string constants allow the insertion of arbitrary characters by encoding them as escape sequences, introduced by a backslash (<#780#><#780#>). The valid escape sequences are shown in Table 2. For instance, the string
is the string consisting of the characters <#786#>a<#786#>,
<#787#>b<#787#>,<#788#>space<#788#>, <#789#>c<#789#>,
<#790#>newline<#790#>, <#791#>d<#791#> and <#792#>e<#792#>.
