C# Verbatim String Literal usage

        static void Main(string[] args)

        {

            Console.WriteLine("Enter user name");

            string userName = Console.ReadLine();

            //Usage of verbatim literal

            string userLoc = @"C:\users\User1\User1Folder";

            Console.WriteLine("Hello {0},Your files are stored in  {1}",                                                userName, userLoc);

/*----Output------

Hello Priya, Your files are stored in C:\users\User1\User1Folder

Points to learn from this program

1. C# defines the following character escape sequences:

\' – single quote, needed for character literals.
\" – double quote, needed for string literals.
\\ – backslash.
\0 – Unicode character 0.
\a – Alert
\b – Backspace
\f – Form feed
\n – Newline

Additionally, with these escape sequences, any characters proceeding with \ will be considered as escape sequences by C# compiler and start to throw compile-time errors. 

For example, \s \u \d will be considered as an invalid escape sequence even a programmer wants to use these character combinations intentionally. It can be avoided by using verbatim literals.

2. Any string starting with @ symbol considered verbatim.

3. Basically, the @ symbol tells the string constructor to ignore escape characters and line breaks.

Hint:

Try to remove @ symbol from 
string userLoc = @"C:\users\User1\User1Folder"; 
check what type of error you are getting.
