| Hi,
I am trying to print out the "%" character but I get an error.
This is my statement:
System.out.printf("Odds same percentage Move " + sInteger15 + "%" + "\n",
iDirectionOdds);
I am trying to print out the number followed by the percentage (%) sign.
Example: 15%
How would I do it.
TIA
Roy

Use %%.

Exception in thread "main" java.util.UnknownFormatConversionException:
Conversion = '%'

public class PrintPercentage
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
int percent = 15;
System.out.print(percent + "%");
}

The reason you are getting the error is because you are using the
PrintStream.printf() method which prints formatted strings and % is a special
character in the format specifier. Read the documentation at
http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/a...rintStream.html
to see how to format a string.
Your argument list seems to be a little  . Which variable are you trying
to have printed, sInteger15 or iDirectionOdds, or both? If you only want
sInteger15 followed by a percent use PrintStream.print() and drop the
unnecessary iDirectionOdds from the argument list. Better still use println()
and drop the "\n".

System.out.printf("Odds same percentage Move " + sInteger15 + \% + "\n",
.... maybe

And you would find that it didn't work.
Why speak from ignorance when you can look up
<http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/a...ter.html#syntax>
and know without doubt?
Or you could read the correct answer that was provided upthread.
