How do I round this quiz percentage in python?

I am a total python newb here. I am following the "5 Mini Python Projects" Quiz Game tutorial by Tech with Tim (finding it incredibly helpful), and one of the things I did was create a code to give someone a percentage after they take my quiz. The percentage ends up being with a lot of decimal places. How can I have 0 decimal places? I don't want to be that precise.

Here is some of my code including a quiz question:

answer = input("What's my favorite pizza? ")
if answer.lower() == "4 cheese":
    print("Correct! Nice job!")
    score += 1
else:
    print("Incorrect, sorry man!")

print("You got " + str(score) + " questions correct!")
print("You got " + str((score / 3) * 100) + "%.")

Some of the output is

"You got 33.33333333333333%."

I tried looking for answers to this, I know there's a round function but I have no idea how to use it, if anyone here could help. Thanks! Having fun so far with my 2nd week ever programming.

I'd say no reason to use round in your code as you only want to format the print statement. In your case I'd use:

print(f"You got {score / 3:.0%}")

Use f-Strings and .n% to allow n decimal places.

print(f"You got {score / 3:.2%}")  # print number with 2 decimal places.
