Java Output Formatting

  • + 0 comments

    It looks like you've posted a Java program that takes input from the user and then formats and prints the input values in a specific format. This program reads a string and an integer from the user three times, and then it prints them in a formatted way with specific spacing and formatting.

    Here's a breakdown of what the program does:

    1. The program starts by importing the necessary package using the import statement (which is not shown in the provided code snippet).

    2. The public class javaanhlocday line declares the class named javaanhlocday.

    3. Inside the main method, the program uses the Scanner class to read input from the user. It first prints a line of equal signs to create a visual divider.

    4. A for loop is used to iterate three times, reading a string and an integer from the user in each iteration.

    5. String s = sc.next(); reads a string from the user.

    6. int n = sc.nextInt(); reads an integer from the user.

    7. String number = String.format("%03d", n); formats the integer as a three-digit string with leading zeros if necessary. This ensures that the number is always printed with three digits.

    8. The program then calculates the number of spaces needed to align the output correctly. It calculates the difference between 15 and the length of the input string and adds that many spaces.

    9. System.out.println(s + spaces + number); prints the formatted output. It concatenates the input string, the calculated spaces, and the formatted number, and then prints the result.

    10. After the loop completes, another line of equal signs is printed to close the formatting.

    This program is designed to create a simple table-like output, where each string and number pair is aligned based on the length of the input string. The output will have the input string on the left, followed by a variable number of spaces to align the formatted number on the right.

    Keep in mind that this code assumes that the input strings will not exceed 15 characters, as it uses this value to calculate the necessary spacing. Additionally, remember to import the required packages and handle any potential exceptions that may arise during input reading and formatting.
