Idiom #65 Format decimal number

From the real value x in [0,1], create its percentage string representation s with one digit after decimal point. E.g. 0.15625 -> "15.6%"

s = string.format("%.1f%%", x*100)
local s = (x-x%10^-3)*100 .."%"
#include <stdio.h>
char s[7];
sprintf(s, "%.2lf%%", x * 100);
