Apply the # flag to the %o, %x, %e, and %f format specifiers. If you want to display the hexadecimal number with a 0x prefix, then precede the %x specifier with #.Preceding the %x specifier with a #, the hexadecimal number will be printed with a 0x prefix.Let us see an example wherein $e is used. It includes a decimal point, even if the decimal digits are not present −Exampleimport java.util.Formatter; public class Demo { public static void main(String args[]) { Formatter f = new Formatter(); System.out.println(f.format("%#e", 5F)); } }Output5.000000e+00

The minimum field width specifier is what you include between % and the format conversion code.To include a 0 before the field width specifier, pad with 0's. An integer between the % sign and the format conversion code acts as a minimum field width specifier.Let us see an example −Exampleimport java.util.Formatter; public class Demo { public static void main(String args[]) { Formatter f = new Formatter(); System.out.println(f.format("%08d", 697)); f = new Formatter(); System.out.println(f.format("%10d", 9878)); f = new Formatter(); System.out.println(f.format("%06d", 697)); } }Output00000697 9878 000697
