Format string % without multiply the value by 100

c#, string-formatting

Solution

You have two real options, add the % by hand

String.Format("Example: {0}%", userValue);

or devide the user number by 100 before you display it.

String.Format("Example: {0:P}", userValue / 100.0); //don't just do "100" or you will get errors from integer division if userValue is a int.

Problem

I need to format the string as `%` but the user will enter the number already as `%` i.e user enter `10`, I need to show `10%` I tried `{0:P}` and `{0:0%}` but it always multiply the user number by `100` How can I simply add `"%"` to the input number without multiply it by `100` in the format `{0:}?`
