/*
printf(String format, [value,...])
Format: %-,X.Yf

Always starts with %
-Causes the value to be left justified.  Otherwise it is right justified
A comma causes commas to be displated in the printed number
X = field width
Y is number of digits after the decimal point
f is format type: d = integer (int), f = floating point number (double), s = string
*/

//EXAMPLE
int x = 123, y = 46789;
double a = 3.14159265, b = 2.7182818;
String first = "Wilma", last = "Flintstone";
System.out.printf("%6d %-,d\n", x, y); //Punctuation counts towards spaces
System.out.printf("%5.2f %-7.4\n", a, b);
System.out.printf("first = [%s] last = [%12s]\n", first, last);

/*
Prints as :
___123 456,789_
_3.14 2.7183_
First = [Wilma] last = [__Flinststone]
