Java printf problem, System.out.printf("%*c", n, ' '); doesn't work?

When I try to format my text by adding n width


i.e System.out.printf("%*c", n, ' ');





with n being the number of spaces, ' ' being the blank space char.





I get the error:





Exception in thread "main" ava.util.UnknownFormatConversionExceptio... Conversion = '*'

there is no in build method like "printf" in Java. so if you Reilly wants to use it , then you have to write definition for the


printf() method explicitly.
Reply:The problem is printf. This is not a java method.


You should be using System.out.print() or System.out.println().


See the link below for the tutorial on how to use formatting.
