// 1: WHAT IS ESCAPE NOTATION?

// const sentence = "He said "Hello" to me"; // ERROR!

// const sentence = "He said \"Hello\" to me";

// console.log(sentence); // He said "Hello" to me

// 2: COMMON ESCAPE SEQUENCE

// Escaping double quotes

// let quote1 = "She said \"JavaScript is awesome!\"";

// // Escaping single quotes

// let quote2 = 'It\'s a beautiful day';

// console.log(quote1);

// console.log(quote2);

// let sentence = 'He said "Hello" to me';

// let path = "C:\\Users\\Documents\\file.txt";

// console.log(path); // C:\Users\Documents\file.txt

// let multiLine = "First line\nSecond line\nThird line";

// console.log(multiLine);

// First line

// Second line

// Third line

// let tabbed = "Name:\tJohn\nAge:\t30";

// console.log(tabbed);

// 3: UNICODE ESCAPE SEQUENCES

// let heart = "I \u2764 JavaScript";

// console.log(heart); // I ❤ JavaScript

// let copyright = "\u00A9 2024";

// // For emojis, use extended syntax

// let rocket = "\u{1F680}";

// console.log(rocket); // 🚀

// 4: PRACTICAL EXAMPLES

// File paths:

// let windowsPath = "C:\\Program Files\\MyApp\\config.json";

// console.log("File location:\n\t" + windowsPath);

// // Formatted output:

// let receipt = "Item\t\tPrice\n" +

// "Apple\t\t$1.50\n" +

// "Banana\t\t$0.75";

// console.log(receipt);

// // Dialogue:

// let dialogue = "\"What's your name?\" he asked.\n\"I'm Sarah,\" she replied.";

// console.log(dialogue);

// 5: TEMPLATE LITERALS ALTERNATIVE

// With escape sequences

// let old = "Line 1\nLine 2\nLine 3";

// // With template literals

// let modern = `Line 1

// Line 2

// Line 3`;

// COMMON MISTAKES

// Mistake 1: Forgetting the backslash

// let wrong = "He said "Hi""; // ERROR

// let right = "He said \"Hi\""; // Correct

// // Mistake 2: Too many backslashes

// let oops = "C:\\\\Users"; // C:\\Users (double backslash)

// let correct = "C:\\Users"; // C:\Users (single backslash)
