Following is the C program for the backslash character constants −

Example

 Live Demo

#include<stdio.h>
#define PI 3.14
float area;
void main(){
   double r;
   r=1.0;
   area = PI * r * r;
   printf("Area is %d \n", area); // /n is used to enter the next statement in newline
}

Output

Area is 1492442840
