798
"%5d" Format a string with the required number of integers and also pad with spaces to the left side if integers are not adequate. "%05d" Format a string with the required number of integers and also pad with zeroes to the left if integers are not adequate.
Java String format() The java string format() method returns the formatted string by given locale, format and arguments. If you don't specify the locale in String. format() method, it uses default locale by calling Locale.
%d means number. %0nd means zero-padded number with a length. You build n by subtraction in your example. %s is a string. Your format string ends up being this: "%03d%s", 0, "Apple"
In java, String format() method returns a formatted string using the given locale, specified format string, and arguments. We can concatenate the strings using this method and at the same time, we can format the output concatenated string. Parameter: The locale value to be applied on the format() method.
The 10 cent answer to this is:
C#'s
String.Format("{0} -- {1} -- {2}", ob1, ob2, ob3) is equivalent to Java's
String.format("%1$s -- %2$s -- %3$s", ob1, ob2, ob3) Note the 1-based index, and the "s" means to convert to string using .toString(). There are many other conversions available and formatting options:

Have a look at the String.format and PrintStream.format methods.
Both are based on the java.util.Formatter class.
String.format example:
Calendar c = new GregorianCalendar(1995, MAY, 23); String s = String.format("Duke's Birthday: %1$tm %1$te,%1$tY", c); // -> s == "Duke's Birthday: May 23, 1995" System.out.format example:
// Writes a formatted string to System.out. System.out.format("Local time: %tT", Calendar.getInstance()); // -> "Local time: 13:34:18" If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
