I have no idea—maybe because we are escaping from the normal way of doing things? Yeah, that’s a bit of a stretch. But whatever the reason, that’s what programmers call it, so that’s what we’ll call it. The backslash is the escape character. In other words, if you have a backslash and another character, they are sometimes translated into a new character. The only things the backslash escapes, though, are the apostrophe and the backslash itself. (If you think about it, escape characters must always escape themselves, too, in order to allow for the construction of any string.

The other benefit of doing it this way is that the computer can understand the program at any stage.
