Unable to use backslash \ in C programming
« on: October 01, 2017, 10:36:22 am »
I am using Mac and I have installed Code::Blocks 13.12. However when I want to print backslash or use \n, it gives a ?, and a message "warning message: illegal character encoding in string literal" after I build and run. This does not happen in Windows.

13.12 is 4 years old.... you should try a newer version...
