How to print " in printf("something equal "x(as char)" ")

Question

How to print " in printf("something equal "x(as char)" ") ??

I don't understand much of this question I must say. `puts("\" in printf(\"something equal \"x(as char)\" \")");` would print `" in printf("something equal "x(as char)" ")` but I assume that's not what you actually want. Can you please elaborate? — Ted Lyngmo, Nov 02 '22 at 22:33
This is basic C course stuff. A standard subject in the *strings* topic. — Cheatah, Nov 02 '22 at 22:39

#include <stdio.h>
 
int main(void) {
    printf("something equal \"x(as char)\" ");
    return 0;
}

In C, the escape character is \. So to print a literal ", instead of using it to end a string, use \".
