How to write backslash in Golang string?

Backslash \ works as an escape sequence character in Golang. There are two different methods to write backslash in a Golang string.
Double Backslash
To print backslash, just need to type the backslash twice. Hence, Go interpreter treat it as a single backslash character instead of escape sequence character.

Example

package main

import "fmt"

func main() {
	fmt.Println("Golang\\Java")
	fmt.Println("Golang\\\\Java")
}

Output

Golang\Java
Golang\\Java
Raw String Lateral
In below example, a raw string lateral ` used to write a backslash in the string. If you want to write a single or multiple backslashes in the string, you can do so by writing the desired string within raw string literals ` as shown in this example.

Example

package main

import "fmt"

func main() {
	fmt.Println(`\Golang\Java\`)
	fmt.Println(`Golang\\Java`)
}

Output

\Golang\Java\
Golang\\Java
