Question

HEllo,
I want to know how can I display the special characters in UILabel ? I want to display ” % ” symbol in UILabel.

calcLabel.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%d Goal Complete", progressView.progress];

I tried

calcLabel.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%d % Goal Complete", progressView.progress];

then it displays some other value with actual value.

Thanks….

Answer 1

calcLabel.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%d %% Goal Complete",
//                                               ^^
                                            progressView.progress];

% itself is a special character in a format string, so you need to escape it with another %.
