Display a '%' when using String.format( )

[kmckinley820]

I am writing a program where I need to display the percent symbol '%' in a GUI using String.format( ). Since % is used as the indicator to place args in the String I can't figure out how to display '%'.

example:

float percent = 20;

String Sentence = String.format("You are %,.2f done.", percent);



this would only display 20.00
How do I get it to display like 20.00% ????

Thanks.

Use %%

String Sentence = String.format("You are %,.2f%% done.", percent);

Or format only the first part and append the rest

String Sentence = String.format("You are %,.2f", percent)+ "% done";

;D
