Query About new line escape character

In print statement whenever you use \n, it just create new line but whenever you use in string it gives \n with output. But it is not the same case as with other escape character like double quote or backslash etc. why is it so?

But you are storing that in a variable and then again printing it. it's not my query My Query is in the following statement: when you type statement 1: >>>print("Hi\n N3tw0rk") Hi N3tw0rk statement 2: >>>"Hi \n N3tw0rk" 'Hi \n N3tw0rk' statement 3: >>>print("Hi \"N3tw0rk\"") Hi "N3tw0rk" statement 4: >>>"Hi \"N3tw0rk\"" 'Hi "N3tw0rk"' See the difference in all statements

I don't want to enter new line i just wanted to know why using escape sequence \" in statement 4 interpreted as " but in statement 2 \n is interpreted as such.
