COUT display a Forward Slash..

[hardwired]

Hey everyone, hope you're all ok..

New to this site so hey :)

Just a quick simple question for a friday:

in COUT how do I show a forward slash?

cout << "1/8th";  // DOES NOT WORK..
cout << "1\/8th";   // LOGICALLY SHOULD WORK BUT COMPILER MOANS.. 

Thanks in advance :)

THE first line does work...for the second line do this cout <<"1\\/8th";

Ah yes, it does work. That's odd, the complier seemed to format it so there were spaces between which i didn't want so i thought it needed an escape character. Thanks all sorted now :)
