See the code in the Decription and tell why adding a " \ " results in printing of "\\n" ?

Question

See the following code:

#include<iostream>
using namespace std;

int main ()

{

/* I am writing a code to print " \n" in the output
screen */

cout<<" WORDs ";
cout << "\n";

/* See the above line doesn't print \n on the output
screen after compilation , at the time of running it just gives some space in the output screen the*/

cout << " \\n";

/* The above line does print \ n on the output screen */

return 0;

}

Now why this is happening ? . Why adding a " \ " results in printing of "\\n" ?
