👉 In programming, backslashes are used to escape special characters in a string. For example, in Python, you might use: ```python print("Hello\\World") ``` This would print "Hello\World" without any escapes. Backslashes can also be used to escape certain strings that contain them, such as in the following code snippet: ```python print("\\hello world") ``` This would print "hello world". These are just a few examples of how backslashes are used
