In Java, how would I line up my file/sizes so that both columns start at the exact same column position?
Here is my code thus far:
System.out.println(child.getName() + " \t\t" + child.length() + " , ");
it makes this output(pic):
However, I would like both columns to line up so that it's like a table-of-contents in a book.
Do I use format-specifierrs?
thanks
System.out.printf("%40s %d,%n",child.getName(),child.length());
Where 40 is the minimum width. Change this as you see fit.
Edit: using %n instead of \n for OS specific linebreak.
