C# Verbatim String Literal

In C#, a verbatim string literal is a way to specify a string without escape sequences, meaning that backslashes are treated literally rather than as escape characters. This is useful when you want to include special characters or a sequence of characters that would otherwise be interpreted as escape sequences.

To create a verbatim string literal, you prefix the string with the "@" symbol. Here's an example:

string path = @"C:\s\name\Documents";

In this example, the backslashes (\) are treated as literal characters and are not interpreted as escape sequences. This is especially helpful for file paths, regular expressions, or any other scenario where you want to include backslashes or other special characters without needing to escape them.

For comparison, the same string without using a verbatim string literal would be written like this:

string path = "C:\\s\\name\\Documents";

Using a verbatim string literal can make your code more readable and easier to work with when dealing with strings that contain many escape characters or backslashes.
