When the program sees \ ( the escape character ) in a text string,

  it looks at the next character following \ and expects it to have a

  special meaning, like \n it sees \ then sees the n which means to go

  to a new line. If the program sees \ followed by a character that

  has no special meaning then you will get an error so to tell the

  program that you really want to use the \ then you use \\ and the

  the program sees the first \ followed by another \ which has the

  special meaning to the program that you want to use the single slash \
