printf() method explanation needed

[darek9576]

Could anyone give some info on the printf() method..
I know we can put %d and %s in the format argument so that it takes a string data type
and a decimal data type but apart from that are there any other uses of printf()?

some simple examples will do the job i guess..

Please have a look at this link as it should explain most if not all of what you need to know:

Formatting (The Java™ Tutorials > Essential Classes > Basic I/O)

Look at the second half of the tutorial, the one that goes through System.out.format(...) as I believe that it's the same thing as printf. If anything is confusing, please come back with any questions you may have. Best of luck!
