# --description--
Quotes are not the only characters that can be <dfn>escaped</dfn> inside a string. There are two reasons to use escaping characters:
1. To allow you to use characters you may not otherwise be able to type out, such as a newline.
2. To allow you to represent multiple quotes in a string without JavaScript misinterpreting what you mean.
We learned this in the previous challenge.
Quotes are not the only characters that can be <dfn>escaped</dfn> inside a string. Escape sequences allow you to use characters you may not otherwise be able to use in a string.
