Java - New Line Character Issue

Question

I have a code like,

String str = \" \" ; 

while(  cond ) {

  str = str + \"\\n\" ;

}

Now, I don\'t know why at the time of printing, the out

String first = "C:/Mine/Java" + "\\n";
System.out.println(first);

OUTPUT is as follows :

For a good reference as to why is this happening, visit JAVA Tutorials

As referred in that TUTORIAL : A character preceded by a backslash is an escape sequence, and has a special meaning to the compiler. When an escape sequence is encountered in a print statement, the compiler interprets it accordingly

Hope this might help.
