Resolved: \ syntax (\"%s\")

Question

You never really said anything about the "backslash" syntax with the modulus operator. Is there somewhere else that I was supposed to have picked that up? I don't really understand its rationale.

Answer 1

Hi Jude,

It's surprising to me this wasn't covered in Intro to Python. Apologies for any confusion. I know for sure that the "backslash" was covere extensively in this lesson:

Answer 2

Thanks! I am now taking the Bootcamp, and I do see where that is called the escape character. I understand it completely now. I just don't think that was mentioned prior to that point in the Intro to Python and the Intermediate Course (up to that point, anyways).
