Constructor Detail

Format

public Format(java.lang.String s)

Formats the number following printf conventions. Main limitation: Can only handle one format parameter at a time Use multiple Format objects to format more than one number

Parameters:

s - the format string following printf conventions The string has a prefix, a format code and a suffix. The prefix and suffix become part of the formatted output. The format code directs the formatting of the (single) parameter to be formatted. The code has the following structure

• a % (required)
• a modifier (optional)

  +

  forces display of + for positive numbers

  0

  show leading zeroes

  -

  align left in the field

  space

  prepend a space in front of positive numbers

  #

  use "alternate" format. Add 0 or 0x for octal or hexadecimal numbers. Don't suppress trailing zeroes in general floating point format.

• an integer denoting field width (optional)
• a period followed by an integer denoting precision (optional)
• a format descriptor (required)

  f

  floating point number in fixed format

  e, E

  floating point number in exponential notation (scientific format). The E format results in an uppercase E for the exponent (1.14130E+003), the e format in a lowercase e.

  g, G

  floating point number in general format (fixed format for small numbers, exponential format for large numbers). Trailing zeroes are suppressed. The G format results in an uppercase E for the exponent (if any), the g format in a lowercase e.

  d, i

  integer in decimal

  x

  integer in hexadecimal

  o

  integer in octal

  s

  string

  c

  character

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if bad format
