Print percentage sign in Python

The first method is to store the symbol in string format and then
use the print function to print as shown in the below.

var = "%"
print(var)

Output::
%

The other method is through the ascii value of the symbol
Let us find out the ascii value of the symbol

var = ord('%')
print("The ascii value of % is " + var)
# ASCII value for any charater is found using ord() function 
# which has got argument of type "string" and return type is INTEGER

Output::

The ascii value of % is 37

print(chr(37))

#chr() is a in-built function in python which is used to convert

#ascii values to their respective symbols or characters

ASCII value 37 denotes ‘%’ symbol

Output::

%
