A backslash (\) is a punctuation mark used primarily in computing and programming. It serves several purposes, such as indicating file paths in many operating systems, like Windows, where it separates folders and files, for example, "C:\Documents\Files." In programming languages, a backslash is often used as an escape character, allowing special characters to be included in strings. It can also denote the beginning of certain commands or syntax in various coding environments. While less common in general writing, the backslash is essential for organizing and executing commands in digital contexts.
