Python: Format a number with a percentage
Format number as percentage.
Write a Python program to format a number with a percentage.
Sample Solution:
Python Code:
# Define a variable 'x' and assign it the value 0.25 (a floating-point number).
x = 0.25
# Define a variable 'y' and assign it the value -0.25 (a floating-point number).
y = -0.25
# Print an empty line for spacing.
print()
# Print the original value of 'x' with a label.
print("Original Number: ", x)
# Format the value of 'x' as a percentage with two decimal places and print it.
print("Formatted Number with percentage: "+"{:.2%}".format(x))
# Print the original value of 'y' with a label.
print("Original Number: ", y)
# Format the value of 'y' as a percentage with two decimal places and print it.
print("Formatted Number with percentage: "+"{:.2%}".format(y))
# Print an empty line for spacing.
print()
Sample Output:
Original Number: 0.25 Formatted Number with percentage: 25.00% Original Number: -0.25 Formatted Number with percentage: -25.00%
