What is the Role of '/a' in printf ?

Question

I have read somewhere that /a produces Windows sound but when i tried it it doesn't work, Can anyone please explain.

Answer 1

Get the slash direction correct. That would explain your problem.

Try this:
#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
printf("\a");
return 0;
}

Notice the \ and not /.

The code I gave worked properly for me when I compiled and ran using CodeBlocks in Windows 10.

Also be sure that your speakers or head phones have good volume and are working properly.
