title: How to run multiple statements in command line?
body: <p>Is it possible to get run multiple commands in Python from command line in Windows?</p>
  
  <p>Here's what I tried on command line in Windows.</p>
  
  <pre class="lang-none prettyprint-override"><code>python -c print(4)\nprint(5)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The error I received was the following:</p>
  
  <pre class="lang-none prettyprint-override"><code>SyntaxError: unexpected character after line continuation character
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is what I wrote above even possible to do?</p>
  
  <p>Can I run multiple statements such as the following:</p>
  
  <pre class="lang-none prettyprint-override"><code>python -c a=5\nb=3\nprint(a+b)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And if so, how?</p>
