Program to find the percentage of difference between two numbers

Given two numbers a and b, where ‘b’ is incremented or decremented by some percentage of ‘a’. The task is to find out that percentage.

Examples:

Input: a = 20, b = 25
Output: 25% 
Difference between 20 and 25 is 5, 
which is 25 % of 20.
(+ve sign indicate increment)

Input: a = 25, b = 20
Output: -20% 
( -ve sign indicate decrement)

Formula to calculate percentage:

(Percentage2 – Percentage1) * 100 / (Percentage1) 

C++

// C++ program to calculate the percentage
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

// Function to calculate the percentage
int percent(int a, int b)
{
    float result = 0;
    result = ((b - a) * 100) / a;

    return result;
}

// Driver Code.
int main()
{
    int a = 20, b = 25;

    cout << percent(a, b) << "%";

    return 0;
}

Java

// Java program to calculate
// the percentage
class GFG
{

// Function to calculate the percentage
static int percent(int a, int b)
{
    float result = 0;
    result = ((b - a) * 100) / a;

    return (int)result;
}

// Driver Code
public static void main(String[] args)
{
    int a = 20, b = 25;

    System.out.println(percent(a, b) + "%");
}
}

// the percentage

// Function to calculate
// the percentage
function percent($a, $b)

// Javascript program to calculate the percentage

// Function to calculate the percentage
function percent(a, b)
{
    var result = 0;
    result = ((b - a) * 100) / a;

    return result;
}

// Driver Code.
var a = 20, b = 25;
