Can someone help! I have been trying to explain the way bash
works as follows.

$PS1=\\u             -2  returns user
$PS1=\\\u            -3  returns user
$PS1=\\\\u           -4  returns \u
$PS1=\\\\\u          -5  returns \u
$PS1=\\\\\\u         -6  returns \user
$PS1=\\\\\\\u        -7  returns \user
$PS1=\\\\\\\\u       -8  returns \u
$PS1=\\\\\\\\\u      -9  returns \u
$PS1=\\\\\\\\\\u    -10  returns \user
$PS1=\\\\\\\\\\\u   -11  returns \user
$PS1=\\\\\\\\\\\\u  -12  returns \\u

I can understand somewhere around;

$PS1=\\\u            -3  returns user

But more than that, I can't figure out why bash respond
as it does. What the logic behind it?
