title: direct output of variable and through print() are different
body: <p>Suppose I have string</p>
  <pre><code>S = '\\\\Serial\\file'
  </code></pre>
  <p>Output:</p>
  <pre><code>S
  
  '\\\\Serial\\file'
  
  
  print(s)
  
  \\Serial\file
  </code></pre>
  <p>So the question is what is the reason print function truncate the backslashes ?</p>
  <p>But still why it remove two backslashes from front and just one from last? what could be the reason? and why its removing?</p>
  <p>Also it dont gives ' ' is that any meaning or use?</p>
