Does anyone have a concise statement for this command.

print "%%%%%%%%%%";

Instead could there be a one line such as

print "%",10times;

This has to be done without using a loop.

Got that...

For help of others,

print "%" x 10

The above statement is for perl

Please do contribute to the forum.
