1. printf()

Dans la programmation Java, vous rencontrez souvent le code System.out.printf(..). En réalité, la méthode printf(..) est définie dans les classes PrintStream et PrintWriter, leur mode d'utilisation est similaire, printf signifie "Print + Format".

printf methods

// Definition of the printf methods in the PrintWriter class:

public PrintStream printf(Locale l, String format, Object... args)

public PrintStream printf(String format, Object... args)

// Definition of the printf methods in PrintWriter class:

public PrintWriter printf(Locale l, String format, Object... args)

public PrintWriter format(String format, Object... args)

System.out.printf(..) est un cas particulier, utilisé pour écrire un texte formaté sur l'écran Console, où System.out est essentiellement un objet de type PrintStream.

System class

package java.lang;

public final class System  {

   public static final PrintStream out = ...;

}

Avant de commencer, observer l'exemple suivant:

Printf_ex1.java

package org.o7planning.printf.ex;

public class Printf_ex1 {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String firstName = "James";
        String lastName = "Smith";
        int age = 20;
        
        System.out.printf("My name is %s %s, I'm %d years old.", firstName, lastName, age);
    }
}

Output:

My name is James Smith, I'm 20 years old.

Les paramètres: flags, width, precision sont facultatifs.

3. conversion-character

%[flags][width][.precision]conversion-character

conversion-character	Description	Type
d	decimal integer	byte, short, int, long
f	floating-point number	float, double
b	Boolean	Object
B	will uppercase the boolean	Object
c	Character Capital	String
C	will uppercase the letter	String
s	String Capital	String
S	will uppercase all the letters in the string	String
h	hashcode - A hashcode is like an address. This is useful for printing a reference	Object
n	newline - Platform specific newline character - use %n instead of \n for greater compatibility

conversion-character: n

System.out.printf("One%nTwo%nThree");

Output:

One
Two
Three

conversion-character: s

System.out.printf("My name is %s %s", "James", "Smith");

Output:

My name is James Smith

conversion-character: S

System.out.printf("My name is %S %S", "James", "Smith");

Output:

My name is JAMES SMITH

conversion-character: b

System.out.printf("%b%n", null);
System.out.printf("%b%n", false);
System.out.printf("%b%n", 5.3);
System.out.printf("%b%n", "Any text");
System.out.printf("%b%n", new Object());

Output:

false
false
true
true
true

conversion-character: B

System.out.printf("%B%n", null);
System.out.printf("%B%n", false);
System.out.printf("%B%n", 5.3);
System.out.printf("%B%n", "Any text");
System.out.printf("%B%n", new Object());

Output:

FALSE
FALSE
TRUE
TRUE
TRUE

conversion-character: d

System.out.printf("There are %d teachers and %d students in the class", 2, 25);

Output:

There are 2 teachers and 25 students in the class

conversion-character: f

System.out.printf("Exchange rate today: EUR %f = USD %f", 1.0, 1.2059);

Output:

Exchange rate today: EUR 1.000000 = USD 1.205900

conversion-character: c

char ch = 'a';
System.out.printf("Code of '%c' character is %d", ch, (int)ch);

Output:

Code of 'a' character is 97

conversion-character: C

char ch = 'a';
System.out.printf("'%C' is the upper case of '%c'", ch, ch);

Output:

'A' is the upper case of 'a'

conversion-character: h

Printf_cc_h_ex.java

package org.o7planning.printf.ex;

public class Printf_cc_h_ex {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        // h (Hashcode HEX)
        Object myObject = new AnyObject("Something");

        System.out.println("Hashcode: " + myObject.hashCode());
        System.out.println("Identity Hashcode: " + System.identityHashCode(myObject));
        System.out.println("Hashcode (HEX): " + Integer.toHexString(myObject.hashCode()));
        System.out.println("toString : " + String.valueOf(myObject));

        System.out.printf("Printf: %h", myObject);
    }
}

class AnyObject {
    private String val;

    public AnyObject(String val) {
        this.val = val;
    }

    @Override
    public int hashCode() {
        if (this.val == null || this.val.isEmpty()) {
            return 0;
        }
        return 1000 + (int) this.val.charAt(0);
    }
}

Output:

Hashcode: 1083
Identity Hashcode: 1579572132
Hashcode (HEX): 43b
toString : org.o7planning.printf.ex.AnyObject@43b
Printf: 43b

4. width

%[flags][width][.precision]conversion-character

width - spécifie la quantité minimale d'espace (nombre de caractères) à conserver pour imprimer le contenu d'un argument correspondant.

printf(format, arg1, arg2,.., argN)

5. flags

%[flags][width][.precision]conversion-character

flag	Description
-	left-justify (default is to right-justify )
+	output a plus ( + ) or minus ( - ) sign for a numerical value
0	forces numerical values to be zero-padded (default is blank padding )
,	comma grouping separator (for numbers > 1000)
	space will display a minus sign if the number is negative or a space if it is positive

flag: -

String[] fullNames = new String[] {"Tom", "Jerry", "Donald"};
float[] salaries = new float[] {1000, 1500, 1200};
// s
System.out.printf("|%-10s | %-30s | %-15s |%n", "No", "Full Name", "Salary");

for(int i=0; i< fullNames.length; i++) {
    System.out.printf("|%-10d | %-30s | %15f |%n", (i+1), fullNames[i], salaries[i]);
}

Output:

flag: +

// flag: +
System.out.printf("The world's economy increased by %+f percent in 2020. %n", -3.3);
System.out.printf("China's economy increased by %+f percent in 2020. %n", 2.3);

System.out.println();

// without flag: +
System.out.printf("The world's economy increased by %f percent in 2020. %n", -3.3);
System.out.printf("China's economy increased by %f percent in 2020. %n", 2.3);

Output:
