While Statement

[Joel Ross]

Hi all,

I have this piece of code

class progess():

     def __init__(self, number,  char):

         total = number
         percentage = number
         while percentage > 0 :
             percentage = int(number/total*100)
             number-=1
             char+="*"
             print char

progess(999,  "*")

Just wondering if anyone has any ideas on way the percentage var gets 
set to the value 0 after the first loop.

Any feed back would be appreciated.

Regards
