backslash

A mark of punctuation ( \ ) introduced in 1960 as a deliberate way to convert two ALGOL symbols ("up" and "down" carets) into ASCII by using the new backslash and its traditional opposite number, the virgule or slant ( / ):

\/ - or - /\ for example.

The backslash went on to find use in early UNIX programs and today is party of a typical QWERTY keyboard, usually to the right of the bracket (and braces) keys. Other terms for the mark include slosh, reverse virgule, and reverse slash.

.

If I see a backslash ( \ ) at the end of the line, does it mean go to the next line or go to the next term?

Backseat

Is a reference to a person who frequently asks "what?". The term originates from people in the back of the car always misinterpreting the message of the people in the front seats. The term is properly used as a noun.
