Java UnknownFormatConversionException
- by user1672458
The code below is throwing this error, and I'm not sure why. It's clearly a problem with outputting String.format to the str variable, but I don't know what's wrong with it.
Exception in thread "main" java.util.UnknownFormatConversionException: Conversion = 'i'
