Why special character (quotes " ) can be declare that char c = '"'
Автор shuneo, история, 22 месяца назад, По-английски 
char c = '"';
// it is compiled and successed.

I have a question that: why we can char c = '"'; instead of using char c = '\"'.

I used to think that char c = '"' is wrong before.

Thank you alot

Because standard says so. And it always was that way.

We don't need to escape the character " when we put it between '. The reason is just the compiler will understand it and there is no need for \.

But when we put it between " we need to escape it because if we don't it will be marked as the end of the string.
