Is there an operator to calculate percentage in Python?

Question

I\'ve recently learned that the \" % \" sign is used to calculate the remainder of an integer in Python. However I was unable to determine if there\'s another operator or me

Answer 1

Very quickly and sortly-code implementation by using the lambda operator.

In [17]: percent = lambda part, whole:float(whole) / 100 * float(part)
In [18]: percent(5,400)
Out[18]: 20.0
In [19]: percent(5,435)
Out[19]: 21.75
