Question

In C# there is a method to write a string to the Console.

it is Console.WriteLine("Hello {0} My name is {1}", "World", "John");

this would return

Hello World My name is John

How can i recreate such a method structure in java. So that i can pass in unlimited amount of the parameters in the end of my method and get it placed in the right indexes?

Any help would be greatly appreciated

// EDIT

Maybe i have not explained well enough. I do not need the method to make a console output. I just want to know how can i recreate a structure in which i can pass as many parameters as i want and get it placed in the right place. For example

movie.setPlot(“This movie is {0} and gets a rating of {1}”, “FUN”, “6 Thumbs up”);

which would set the the plot varialbe for a movie to

This movie is FUN and gets a rating of 6 Thumbs up

// EDIT 2

End Result:

private static final String PREFIX = "AwesomeApp";

    public static void e(String TAG, String msg){
        android.util.Log.e(PREFIX + "  >> " +TAG,  msg);
    }

    public static void e(String TAG, String msg, Object...args){
        e(TAG, String.format(msg, args));
    }

You can use var-args to handle an indeterminate number of parameters:

void setPlot(String text, String... args) {
   System.out.printf(text, args);
}
