This code sample is used to escape a string in the C programming language. It does this by looping through each character of the string and replacing it with the corresponding escaped character. For example, a line break would be replaced with ‘\n’ and a single quote would be replaced with '''. After looping through the entire string, it prints the escaped string in the console.
