How do I print a '%' sign using string formatting?

Question

I\'ve made a little script to calculator percent; however, I wish to actually include the \'%\' within the message printed...

Tried this at the start - didn\'t work.

Answer 1

x = 0.25
y = -0.25
print("\nOriginal Number: ", x)
print("Formatted Number with percentage: "+"{:.2%}".format(x));
print("Original Number: ", y)
print("Formatted Number with percentage: "+"{:.2%}".format(y));
print()

Sample Output:

Original Number:  0.25                                                                                        
Formatted Number with percentage: 25.00%                                                                      
Original Number:  -0.25                                                                                       
Formatted Number with percentage: -25.00% 

Helps in proper formatting of percentage value

Using ascii value of percentage - which is 37

print( '12' + str(chr(37)) )
