What is verbatim string literal in C#?

Verbatim strin is any regular string which is starts from @ character.
For example: @”Hello World”
Verbatim string used when you want to print multiline text in C#. When we used verbatim literal then any escape sequence character in string neglect by C# compiler.

Example:
       1)   string strText = “Hello \t World”      //OP is: Hello                    World
In this example C# complier consider \t as escape sequence so which is used as horizontal tab.

       2)   string strText1 = @“Hello \t World”  //OP is: Hello \t World
In this example C# complier neglect escape sequence as we used verbatim literal(@) so what we write after verbatim literal its print as it is.
