Taming Tiger: Formatted output
By John Zukowski - 2004-05-03 Page:  1 2 3 4 5

Conclusion and Resources

Getting a grasp of all the formatting options available with Formatter will take a little time, unless you are familiar with them from the C world. Some minor differences exist, but for the most part the behaviors are very similar. One key difference with the Java platform is that when the formatting string is invalid, an exception will be thrown.

Be sure to take a long look at the formatting strings available, as shown in the Formatter class Javadoc. When creating your own custom classes, not only should you provide a toString() implementation, but implementing the Formattable interface will typically be beneficial.
