Java Output Formatting

  • jimmy5 + 1 comment

    here's my code and a good refrence at the bottom 

    import java.util.Scanner;

public class Solution {

public static void main(String[] args) {
        Scanner sc=new Scanner(System.in);
                System.out.println("================================");
        for(int i=0;i<3;i++)
        {
            String s1=sc.next();
            int x=sc.nextInt();

            if(s1.length() > 10){
                s1 = s1.substring(0, 10);
            }


           System.out.printf("%-15s%03d%n", s1, x);
        }
        System.out.println("================================");

}
}

      Hello, I looked at that link too, but I didn't understand why I had to code like:

      System.out.printf("%-15s%03d%n", s1, x);

      and I couldn't do

      System.out.printf("%-15s %03d %n", s1, x);

      (with spaces between %-15s and %03d...)

        In this case one additional space is included in your format
