How to center string output using printf() and variable width? [java]
- by Khan
I'm creating an output in Java using printf() to create table headers. One of the columns needs variable width.
Basically it should look like this:
//two coords
Trial Column Heading
1 (20,30)(30,20)
//three coords
Trial Column Heading
1 (20,40)(50,10)(90,30)
I tried to use:
int spacing = numCoords * 7; //size of column
printf("Trial %*^s", column, "Column Heading");
But I keep getting output errors when I try to use * or ^ in the conversion statement.
Does anyone have any idea what the correct formatting string should be?
