// Java offers several ways to format strings. Here are some examples
// of common string formatting tasks.
// In Java, we use the String.format() method or System.out.printf()
// for formatting. This prints an instance of our Point class.
Point p = new Point(1, 2);
System.out.printf("struct1: %s%n", p);
// In Java, we don't have direct equivalents to Go's %+v or %#v.
// We can achieve similar results by overriding toString() in our class.
System.out.printf("struct2: %s%n", p);
// To print the type of a value, we use getClass().getName()
System.out.printf("type: %s%n", p.getClass().getName());
// Formatting booleans is straightforward.
System.out.printf("bool: %b%n", true);
// There are many options for formatting integers.
// Use %d for standard, base-10 formatting.
System.out.printf("int: %d%n", 123);
// This prints a binary representation.
System.out.printf("bin: %s%n", Integer.toBinaryString(14));
// This prints the character corresponding to the given integer.
System.out.printf("char: %c%n", 33);
// %x provides hex encoding.
System.out.printf("hex: %x%n", 456);
// There are also several formatting options for floats.
// For basic decimal formatting use %f.
System.out.printf("float1: %f%n", 78.9);
// %e and %E format the float in (slightly different versions of) scientific notation.
System.out.printf("float2: %e%n", 123400000.0);
System.out.printf("float3: %E%n", 123400000.0);
// For basic string printing use %s.
System.out.printf("str1: %s%n", "\"string\"");
// To double-quote strings, we can use %s with quotes in the format string.
System.out.printf("str2: \"%s\"%n", "string");
// As with integers seen earlier, we can use String.format() with %x
// to render the string in base-16.
System.out.printf("str3: %s%n", String.format("%x", "hex this"));
// To print a representation of a pointer, we can use System.identityHashCode().
System.out.printf("pointer: %d%n", System.identityHashCode(p));
// When formatting numbers you will often want to control the width and precision
// of the resulting figure. To specify the width of an integer, use a number
// after the % in the format specifier. By default the result will be right-justified
// and padded with spaces.
System.out.printf("width1: |%6d|%6d|%n", 12, 345);
// You can also specify the width of printed floats, though usually you'll also want
// to restrict the decimal precision at the same time with the width.precision syntax.
System.out.printf("width2: |%6.2f|%6.2f|%n", 1.2, 3.45);
// To left-justify, use the - flag.
System.out.printf("width3: |%-6.2f|%-6.2f|%n", 1.2, 3.45);
// You may also want to control width when formatting strings, especially to ensure
// that they align in table-like output. For basic right-justified width.
System.out.printf("width4: |%6s|%6s|%n", "foo", "b");
// To left-justify use the - flag as with numbers.
System.out.printf("width5: |%-6s|%-6s|%n", "foo", "b");
// So far we've seen printf, which prints the formatted string to System.out.
// String.format() formats and returns a string without printing it anywhere.
String s = String.format("sprintf: a %s", "string");
System.out.println(s);
// You can format+print to Writers other than System.out using PrintWriter or PrintStream.
System.err.printf("io: an %s%n", "error");
