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
