Python string 'Template' equivalent in java

Question

Python supports the following operation:

>>> s = Template('$who likes $what')
>>> s.substitute(who='tim', what='kung pao')
'tim likes kung pao'

(Example taken from Python's official documentation)

Is there an equivalent way in Java for performing the exact task?

Thanks

Answer 1

String s = String.format("%s likes %s", "tim", "kung pao");

or

System.out.printf("%s likes %s", "tim", "kung pao");

you can easily do the templating with this too.

String s = "%s likes %s";
String.format(s, "tim", "kung pao");
