Question

The escape sequence ‘\f’ stands for _________

(a) Floating numbers

(b) Representation of functions that returns a value

(c) \f is not present in JavaScript

(d) Form feed

The question was asked in my homework.

My enquiry is from Types, Values and Variables topic in section Lexical Structures of JavaScript

Answer 1

Correct option is (d) Form feed

To elaborate: \f is the JavaScript escape sequence that stands for Form feed (\u000C). It skips to the start of the next page. (Applies mostly to terminals where the output device is a printer rather than a VDU).
