The statement
"Note that newlines still need to be embedded in the string using \n;
the newline following the trailing backslash is discarded. This
example would print the following:"
is confusing with the semicolon in that sentence. I was looking for a
semicolon in the code fragment and thought there was a typo at first.
Perhaps the following would be clearer?
""Note that newlines still need to be embedded in the string using \n
; the newline following the trailing backslash is discarded. This
example would print the following:"
The gray color on the command-line would then have enough white space
to differentiate it from the semicolon.
Or maybe i just need to buy a better monitor! :D
