format_percent: Format number to percent

In adayim/cctab: Tables of Descriptive Statistics in word

Description

Format values to percentage format. Multiply 100 and add % symbol.

Usage

format_percent(x, digits = 2, format = "f", ...)

Arguments

x	Number to format percentage.
digits	the desired number of digits after the decimal point (format = "f") or significant digits (format = "g", = "e" or = "fg"). Default: 2 for integer, 4 for real numbers. If less than 0, the C default of 6 digits is used. If specified as more than 50, 50 will be used with a warning unless format = "f" where it is limited to typically 324. (Not more than 15–21 digits need be accurate, depending on the OS and compiler used. This limit is just a precaution against segfaults in the underlying C runtime.)
format	equal to "d" (for integers), "f", "e", "E", "g", "G", "fg" (for reals), or "s" (for strings). Default is "d" for integers, "g" for reals. "f" gives numbers in the usual xxx.xxx format; "e" and "E" give n.ddde+nn or n.dddE+nn (scientific format); "g" and "G" put x[i] into scientific format only if it saves space to do so and drop trailing zeros and decimal point - unless flag contains "#" which keeps trailing zeros for the "g", "G" formats. "fg" (our own hybrid format) uses fixed format as "f", but digits as the minimum number of significant digits. This can lead to quite long result strings, see examples below. Note that unlike signif this prints large numbers with more significant digits than digits. Trailing zeros are dropped in this format, unless flag contains "#".
...	arguments passed to format.

Value

A formatted percent character.
