How to print a formatted text using printf() method in Java?
The printf() method allows us to format output to a java.io.PrintStream or java.io.PrintWriter. These classes also contain a method called format() which can produce the same results, so whatever we read here for the printf() method can also be applied to the format() method.
Syntax
System.out.printf(“format-string” [, arg1, arg2, … ]);
Example1
import java.io.PrintStream; public class PrintfTest1 { public static void main(String[] args) { int i = 1234; System.out.printf("Decimal: %1$,d Octal: %1$o Hex: %1$x"\n, i); String str = "Tutorials Point"; System.out.printf("%15s", str); } }
Output
Decimal: 1,234 Octal: 2322 Hex: 4d2 Tutorials Point
Example2
public class PrintfTest2 { public static void main(String[] args) { String name = "Adithya"; int age= 30; System.out.format("%-10s - %4d\n", name, age); } }
Output
Adithya - 30
