Python: Raw String

Raw string

• r in front of the string quote means raw string, where backslash characters do not have special meaning.
• Literal newline is still not allowed.

xx = r"this \n and that"

print(xx)
# prints
# this \n and that

# the backslash n do not have special meaning

# raw string with triple quote

xx = r"""this
and \n that"""

print(xx)

# this
# and \n that
