format

• New lines

  • String.format("Hallo%n") inserts an operating system specific line break. The result differs depending on the operating system on which your program is running.

  • String.format("Hallo\n") always inserts a Linux line break regardless of the operating system.

  • Best to use \n instead

        output = String.format("Temperature of Jupiter %,+d K", -145);
        System.out.println(output); // Temperature of Jupiter -145 K

        output = String.format("A padded number %010d", 42);

        output = String.format("An octal number %o", 100);
        System.out.println(output);// An octal number 144
        output = String.format("An octal number %#o", 100);

        output = String.format("An hex number %#x", 100);
        System.out.println(output); // An hex number 0x64

        // Multiple String arguments of multiple types
        output = String.format("The %1s has %2d moons", "Saturn", 53);
        System.out.println(output); // The Saturn has 53 moons

        output = String.format("Fun with <%-10s>", "Java");
