\n (not /n) is a line break. If you use \n in a string, the text that follows the \n will continue in the next line. \ is an escape character and means that the next character is not to be treated as a special character but as a regular character. Because of the escape character, print('\\n') will print '\n' instead of a line break.

Go to the code playground and try this: print('This is\na string') vs this: print('This is\\na string')
