Question :
What is the meaning of Percent sign in Python?
What is the meaning of the percent sign in Python? for example :
The part of this Code ‘j%i%im%i’%(b,c,d) ?
>>> while d < len(r[0][b][c]):
>>> if r[0][b][c][d] >= 0 and e == 0:
>>> C.append({'operation':'j%i%im%i'%(b,c,d),'energie':r[1][b][c][d]},)
>>> e = 1
Answer #1:
The ‘%’ symbol has a lot of different meanings.
In this case, it’s refererring to string formatting:

Basically, it allows you to substitute a placeholder in the string with a new value.
>>> 'a%s' %('b') # adding string
'ab'
>>> 'a%i' %(1) # adding integer
'a1'
>>> 'a%d' %(1) # adding integer (another form)
'a1'
However, for integers, % has an entirely different meaning and can return a remainder from integer division (5%2 == 1).
