I have the following code

test = "have it break."

selectiveEscape = "Print percent % in sentence and not %s" % test print(selectiveEscape)

I would like to get the output:

Print percent % in sentence and not have it break.

What actually happens:

selectiveEscape = "Use percent % in sentence and not %s" % test

TypeError: %d format: a number is required, not str

To selectively escape per cent (%) in Python strings you can use the following piece of code:-

test = "have it break."

selectiveEscape = "Print percent %% in sentence and not %s" % test 

print(selectiveEscape)
