Hi,
In my terminal i have come across $ and # but never encountered %.
But in few websites I saw %. When does this come in a command line prompt?

The command line on Linux is provided by a program called a shell. There are different shells that you can use.
Some years ago, you basically had a choice between the Bourne shell and the C shell. Both now have derivatives. The Bash shell that tends to be used on Linux is derived from the Bourne shell.
The default prompt for the Bourne family of shells is usually '$'. The default prompt for the C shells is usually '%'.
Thanks guys.
Thanks for that link.
