Class Exercise
  • Please modify code above a with a different emoticon! You are allowed to copy-paste, you don't need to type in the specific characters to print that face.

Printing Special Characters​

A trickier problem.

Write a program that prints: /(￣▽￣)\

  • Note how in python there are some characters that when printing, we need to escape them (for example: \).
  • That's why on the following example, instead of only having one \ there are 2 of them \\
