I'm trying to write a string \n in a text file. But the result in the text file is a newline. I know that the \n represents a newline. But in my case, I really need to see the String \n, not the newline. How can I solve this?

The new line character in Python is \n . It is used to indicate the end of a line of text. You can print strings without adding a new line with end = <character> , which <character> is the character that will be used to separate the lines.
No, "\n" is only recognized in java in a char or string literal, in a text file it is just considered a backslash and then n.
To write to a text file in Python, you follow these steps: First, open the text file for writing (or append) using the open() function. Second, write to the text file using the write() or writelines() method. Third, close the file using the close() method.
The \ character escapes the next character, as you say \n will create a newline. If you wish to output an actual \, you need to write:
"\\n"
That way the first slash escapes the second slash, generating an actual slash rather than escaping the n.
