Hi Garfield, Backslash is always an escape character, even in the raw string. The r prefix makes the original backslash and following character appear in the char sequence (instead of being interpreted).

If the last character of the string is a backslash, I get an unterminated string error. If I add another character, the error goes away. I thought that the r prefix rendered everything within the quotes as literals.
