The \n symbol in Python is a newline character that creates line breaks in strings. It moves the output to the next line when printing or writing to files. For example, print(“Hello\nWorld”) outputs:
Hello
World
In file handling, it ensures content appears on separate lines. To display \n literally, use a raw string (r”Text\n”) or escape it as \\n. While \n is common for line breaks, triple-quoted strings (“””Text”””) automatically handle newlines without needing it. This versatile symbol is essential for formatting output or organizing text-based data in Python programs.
