This is a shortened version of my function. My function is: def data(number): When you enter the number it'll end up showing a percentage as a float and some text behind it.
The next line is: print "total is: ", float(number), "%"
Which prints:
>>> data(22)
total is: 22.0 %
What I want to do is remove the space between the 22.0 and the %, so the result looks like this instead `
>>> data(22)
total is: 22.0%
Each of the comma-delimited expressions that follows print will be separated by a space. One way to get control over that spacing is to use a format string. For example:
def data(number):
print "total is %s%%" % float(number)
The %s in the format string becomes the string value of float(number) and the %% in the format string becomes a literal % character.
But you might also want to look into str.format(). There is a comparison between old-style format strings and new-style str.format() strings here.
