[SOLVED] [newbie] PrintStream printf(String fmt, Object... args)

[jon80]

A book example...I'm trying to guess...

public static class PrintStream
{
public PrintStream printf(String fmt, Object... args);
}

1. Can I convert PrintStream to an object that I can display on screen (ahem...the default stream writer), say, using System.out.println.

2. What values do I need to set for 'fmt'?

:confused:

fmt param u can give collection of characters or mixed (i.e) numeric+characters.

Ex: "Ramya","Ramya78" etc....

Go thru this Javdoc

lol, no read my question :P

[RamyaSivakanth]

Could you please explain the problem clearly? Instead of passing to S.O.P u can use println of printstream directly know?

[jon80]

imho it is clear

I've re-thought my question as...

How do I use the function printf()?

...Although actually there are specific questions I was worried about before I get to that...

1. Can I convert PrintStream to an object that I can display on screen (ahem...the default stream writer), say, using System.out.println.

2. What values do I need to set for 'fmt'?


Hope this is somewhat clearer...
