Overview
pw.printf("%s: %d", s, i);
System.out.printf("float: %2.2f\n",f);
Features
Leading Space Padding
This is useful when numbers with different lengths are required to be displayed aligned to the right.
Left-padding with spaces is achieved as follows:
System.out.printf("%widths", number)
The number will be converted to string and will be right justified, with the rest of the space willed with ' ', at the left.
Trailing Space Padding
System.out.printf("%-widths", something)
Hexadecimal Output
System.out.printf("%x", value)
