How can I print "\n" using NSLog?

How can I print "\n" to the console by using NSLog or printf function?

Basically I was trying to print a String with value "Hello\nWorld". My requirement is, I want to print it AS IT IS. But when I tried to print, it was printing like, 

Hello
World

not as 

Hello\nWorld

I use C strings (except in the very rare case where I'm debugging something specific to Unicode):

NSLog( [ NSString stringWithFormat:@"%s", "Hello\nWorld" ] );

Make the above into a macro taking C parameters, and it becomes portable between C and Obj C.

Try "Hello\\nWorld". If you want a literal \ in a string you need to escape it with another \ .

Escape it using another backslash.

NSLog(@"Hello\\nWorld");
