Escape Sequences


Some characters cannot be easily input into strings, so AFL provides escape sequences to more easily produce them. AFL provides 5 escape sequences, as follows:

\; produces a semicolon without ending a code statement.

\n produces a line break

\' produces a single quote, which is ignored for the purposes of defining characters.

\" produces a double quote, which is ignored for the purposes of defining strings.

\# produces a #, which is useful for allowing them within strings.

Note that \; can be used outside of strings and characters, though there is no use for this behavior.
