Use of Backslash "\n" in C language

 Why Backslash "n" is used in "printf" in machine languages

Answer:

  • Backslash "\n" is used in many programming languages.
  • It is called as newline character.
  • We use Backslash "\n" to bring a newline in our output.
  • This newline character is a type of escape sequence.
  • This helps the programmer or the coder to display the output with an alignment .
  • It also help others to see and understand  the output clearly.
  • The Backslash "\n" is used only in "printf" statements
  • There are also other escape sequence characters like "\t".
  • "\t" is use for tab space.
  • It is also a escape sequence.
  • This helps the programmer to leave space between things 
  • And it helps the programmer as well the user to understand the output more clearly.

COHESION AND COUPLING material

  5.3 COHESION AND COUPLING   ●       We have so far discussed that effective problem decomposition is an important characteristic of a good design. ●       Good module decomposition is indicated through high cohesion of the individual modules and low coupling of the modules with each other. ●       Cohesion is a measure of the functional strength of a module, whereas the coupling between two modules is a measure of the degree of interaction (or interdependence) between the two modules. ●       Coupling: Intuitively, we can think of coupling as follows.   ●       Two modules are said to be highly coupled, if either of the following two situations arise: ●       If the function calls between two modules involve passing large chunks of shared data, the modules are tightly coupled ●     ...

C program to find ncr code: #include <stdio.h>   int fact(int);   void main() {  int n,r,ncr;     printf("Enter a number n:");   scanf("%d",&n);     printf("Enter a number r:");   scanf("%d",&r); ncr=fact(n)/(fact(r)*fact(n-r));     printf("Value of %dC%d = %d\n",n,r,ncr); } int fact(int n) {     int i,f=1;     for(i=1;i<=n;i++)     {         f=f*i;     }     return f; } Explanation: In this program we are using "function" concept. To find ncr we first declare the variables We get the output from the user and store them. ncr formula is " ncr=fact(n)/(fact(r)*fact(n-r))" To print the result we are using printf stat...
