Question

I am trying to translate a C# example of number formatting into Java. The idea is to format the numerical output into 2 “columns” (or 2 characters) for neatness.

With C#, this is done by

Console.WriteLine("{0:00;-0;00}", theInt);

So that 25, 7, -1, 0 prints like:

25
07
-1
00

Is there any good way to do this in Java? (besides writing my own function)

Answer 1

I believe this is what you are looking for.

 String.format("%02d", yournumber);
