7. To print newline

( \n ) is used to shift pointer to next line during run-time.

Practical Implementation:

using System;

namespace AspnetSolutions
{
    class stringEscapeSequences
    {
        public static void Main()
        {

            /*To print newline*/
            Console.WriteLine("newline = Imagination\nhunt");

        }
    }
}

As you can see that In the above example we want "imagination" and "hunt" to be written in two separate lines. And using (\n) we move the "hunt" printed in the next line.

8. To print carriage return 
( \r ) is a carriage return character, it tells your interpreter to move the cursor at the start of the line i.e.,  to the left side. The cursor is now at the position where the next characters will be rendered. So, printing a ( \r ) allows to override the current line interpreted.

 Practical Implementation:

using System;

namespace AspnetSolutions
{
    class stringEscapeSequences
    {
        public static void Main()
        {
            /*To print carriage return.*/
            Console.WriteLine("Carriage return = Imagination\rhunt");

        }
    }
}

The program is printing "Carriage return = Imagination", then it is moving the cursor back to the beginning of the line. And then it will print "hunt". It appears the beginning of the string is being overwritten as "huntiage return = Imagination".

9. To print horizontal tab

Horizontal Tab escape sequence ( \t ) is similar like pressing tab button from keyboard. It will make the cursor to give 3 or 4 spaces.

Practical Implementation:

            Console.WriteLine("horizontal tab = Imagination\thunt\tblog\tspot");

        }
    }
}
