Question
  • Using echo command, answer how the end of line (also called new line) character is displayed. NOTE: Shell gives special meaning to certain characters like *, ?, \ and others. To make shell not to give special meaning to that character, you have to put a \ in front of it.  This is called quoting character.  Therefore, you have to quote the character \ by putting a \ in front of it like \\ in order for the echo command to display it. Read more about it quoting character in your textbook.  The end of line character is the representation of the “enter” key. The ASCII character code for the “enter” key is not a displayable single character like the letter ‘X’ for example.  Hence, the system displays it differently.
