System.out.printf() (Formatted Output)

Useful for formatted printing like numbers, decimals, strings.

Output:

Example Program

class OutputExample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("Welcome to Java!");
System.out.print("Learning ");
System.out.print("Java Output");
System.out.println("\nFormatted Example:");
System.out.printf("Pi approx: %.3f", 3.14159);
}
}

class OutputExample {

public static void main(String[] args) {

System.out.println("Welcome to Java!");

System.out.print("Learning ");

System.out.print("Java Output");

System.out.println("\nFormatted Example:");

System.out.printf("Pi approx: %.3f", 3.14159);

}

Summary

Method	Moves to new line?	Use case
