V682. Suspicious literal: '/r'. It is possible that a backslash should be used instead: '\r'.

The analyzer has detected a potential error when a forward slash is used.

It's easy to make a mistake mixing up the forward slash and backward slash characters.

For example:

if (x == '/n')

The programmer intended to compare the variable 'x' to the code 0xA (line feed) but made a mistake and wrote a forward slash. It results in the variable being compared to the value 0x2F6E.

This is the fixed code:

if (x == '\n')

Such a mistake is usually made when working with the following escape sequences:

• newline - \n
• horizontal tab - \t
• vertical tab - \v
• backspace - \b
• carriage return - \r
• form feed - \f
• alert - \a
• backslash - \\
• the null character - \0
