backslash not working

Hi @Amr_Ebada !!
Thanks for pointing it out. In Go, the backslash \ is used as an escape character within string literals only. It allows you to include special characters, such as newline (\n ) or double quotes (\" ), within a string. It does not function as a line continuation character like in some other programming languages. The corrected code would be:

const Ln2 = 0.693147180559945309417232121458176568075500134360255254120680009

We will update it soon. Happy Learning :blush:

Even in strings noting like backslash, are you even looking in Go guys?

I apologize for the confusion in my previous response. Go does not support line continuation with a backslash inside string literals. The backslash is used as an escape character within string literals to escape special characters, not for line continuation.
