NSString stringWithFormat adding a percent [duplicate]

Question

How can I add a percent to my stringWithFormat function? For example, I'd like to have the following:

float someFloat = 40.233f; NSString *str = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%.02f%",someFloat]; 

This should cause the string to be:

40.23% 

But it is not the case. How can I achieve this?

Answer 1

% being the character beginning printf-style formats, it simply needs to be doubled:

float someFloat = 40.233f; NSString *str = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%.02f%%",someFloat];
