Can't do ASCII with 'u' character in python
Question:
I’m trying to do an ascii image in python but gives me this error
File "main.py", line 1
teste = print('''
^
SyntaxError: (unicode error) 'unicodeescape' codec can't decode bytes in position 375-376: truncated UXXXXXXXX escape
And I think it’s because of the U character, why that happened, is any way to solve this?
ASCII image
Answers:
You’ve got U in your string, which is being interpreted as the beginning of a Unicode ordinal escape (it expects it to be followed by 8 hex characters representing a single Unicode ordinal).
You could double the escape, making it \U, but that would make it harder to see the image in the code itself. The simplest approach is to make it a raw string that ignores all escapes save escapes applied to the quote character, by putting an r immediately before the literal:
teste = print(r'''
Note the r immediately after the (, before the '''.
