Quotes around variables

[jadroe]

How can I put quotes, using the escape sequence \'\' or \"\", around variables?
For example:

System.out.print("You have entered " + num + ".");

I want the output to look like this: You have entered "num goes here". Can this even be done?

Yes, it can be done, with Java formatter.

If the number is an integer, use %d e.g.

//note we use 'printf' to use the Java formatter
System.out.printf("You have entered %d.",num);

I don't see why you would want a formatted, he wants quotes around his number and that's all, no formatting needed.

@op: use the escaped quote.

String s = "hi the number is\"" + num + "\".";

Oh right, I just read:

For example:
System.out.print("You have entered " + num + ".");
