```
#define _CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS 
#include <stdio.h>
int main(void)
{
    printf("\%\n");
    int x = 10;
    printf("\%d\n", x);
        return 0;
}

```

Output:

10

(The first line is not printing)
So what is being done by the escape sequence? If it does not read a % after \, it should not have printed 10 in the second printf statement.
