package conversion;

public class Mgr4
{

public static void main(String[] args)
{

String s1 = String.format("sum of %d,%d is"+10,20,[10+20]);

}

}

can any one tell why the statement--String s1 = String.format("sum of %d,%d is"+10,20,[10+20]); results compilation error

Thanks in advance
Daya

Remove those square brackets, they are used for array indexes and don't make any sense here.

kind regards,

don;t really use format in java, but you are printing 3 ints (%i, %d works). You have 2.

Try:

Java Code:

String.format("sum of %i,%i is %i",10,20,(10+20));

What compilation error do you get?

ETA: Oh come on. Don't let him get away with sloppy questions like that!
For shame!

I personally found this question reasonable compared to the crap where they dump pages and pages of unreadable code at us with a single "urgent, this doesn't work! Send me teh codez for dis script! plzzzzzz! The deadline if on Friday!"
