Question

What's the output?

console.log(String.raw`Hello\nworld`);

• A: Hello world!
• B: Hello
     world
• C: Hello\nworld
• D: Hello\n
     world

Answer 1

Answer: C

String.raw returns a string where the escapes (\n, \v, \t etc.) are ignored! Backslashes can be an issue since you could end up with something like:

const path = `C:\Documents\Projects\table.html`

Which would result in:

"C:DocumentsProjects able.html"

With String.raw, it would simply ignore the escape and print:

C:\Documents\Projects\table.html

In this case, the string is Hello\nworld, which gets logged.
