I need to have the display window have a "%" after the rest of my printing. 
My code looks likes this: 
fprintf('Percent Error:       %0.8f %', percentError);
It is currently printing "Percent Error:       0.03696863 ", but I need it to print "Percent Error:       0.03696863%"

				The fprintf documentation explains how to define special characters, in the table entitled Special Character it shows:
Special Character        Representation
Single quotation mark    ''
Percent character        %%

        Usage of char or '%' is possible.
fprintf('Percent Error: %0.8f %s', percentError,char(37));
or
fprintf('Percent Error: %0.8f %s', percentError,'%');
