Even the most effective diet pills are only meant to be taken for a short period of time -- usually six months or less. During that time, doctor-prescribed weight-loss drugs can trim anywhere from 5 to 22 pounds, or up to 10 percent of your body weight. But after six months, your body develops a tolerance to these drugs' effects, and weight loss plateaus.
A backslash is a slash that leans backward and is used as a symbol in computer programming. Backslash appears like this: \. As you can see, the upper end of the backslash leans backwards. That is why it has gained the name backslash. If we look at writing, people do not use backslash in writing.
up vote 13 down vote accepted. The backslash notation in a character literal allows you to specify the numeric value of a character instead of using the character itself. So '\1' [*] means the character whose numeric value is 1, '\2' means the character whose numeric value is 2, etc. Almost. Due to a quirk of C, character literals actually have type int, and indeed int is used to handle characters in other contexts too, such as the return value of fgetc. So '\1' means the numeric value as an int, of the character whose numeric value is 1, and so on.
