So I'm attempting to put in Ascii Art in a C++ program, and did so by manually printing each line, but the outcome was nothing like the ascii art. It's like:
Does this occur because the characters are not recognizable by the prompt or have I not done it correctly.
Here is the ASCII art I'm trying to do:
_____/\\\\\\\\\________/\\\\\\\\\\\__________/\\\\\\\\\__/\\\\\\\\\\\__/\\\\\\\\\\\_
___/\\\\\\\\\\\\\____/\\\/////////\\\_____/\\\////////__\/////\\\///__\/////\\\///__
__/\\\/////////\\\__\//\\\______\///____/\\\/_______________\/\\\_________\/\\\_____
_\/\\\_______\/\\\___\////\\\__________/\\\_________________\/\\\_________\/\\\_____
_\/\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\______\////\\\______\/\\\_________________\/\\\_________\/\\\_____
_\/\\\/////////\\\_________\////\\\___\//\\\________________\/\\\_________\/\\\_____
_\/\\\_______\/\\\__/\\\______\//\\\___\///\\\______________\/\\\_________\/\\\_____
_\/\\\_______\/\\\_\///\\\\\\\\\\\/______\////\\\\\\\\\__/\\\\\\\\\\\__/\\\\\\\\\\\_
_\///________\///____\///////////___________\/////////__\///////////__\///////////__
Code:
cout << "_____/\\\\\\\\\________/\\\\\\\\\\\__________/\\\\\\\\\__/\\\\\\\\\\\__/\\\\\\\\\\\_ \n";
cout << " ___/\\\\\\\\\\\\\____/\\\/////////\\\_____/\\\////////__\/////\\\///__\/////\\\///__ \n";
cout << " __/\\\/////////\\\__\//\\\______\///____/\\\/_______________\/\\\_________\/\\\_____ \n";
cout << " _\/\\\_______\/\\\___\////\\\__________/\\\_________________\/\\\_________\/\\\_____ \n";
cout << " _\/\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\______\////\\\______\/\\\_________________\/\\\_________\/\\\_____ \n";
cout << " _\/\\\/////////\\\_________\////\\\___\//\\\________________\/\\\_________\/\\\_____ \n";
cout << " _\/\\\_______\/\\\__/\\\______\//\\\___\///\\\______________\/\\\_________\/\\\_____ \n";
cout << " _\///________\///____\///////////___________\/////////__\///////////__\///////////__\n";

The escape sequences are interpreted as single special or other characters, hence the strange output.
"\\"
means'\'
for example.You can use a raw string literal:
