Question

What is the difference between backticks (``) & double quotes (\"\") in golang?

Answer 1

In quotes "" you need to escape new lines, tabs and other characters that do not need to be escaped in backticks ``. If you put a line break in a backtick string, it is interpreted as a '\n' character, see https://golang.org/ref/spec#String_literals

Thus, if you say \n in a backtick string, it will be interpreted as the literal backslash and character n.
