Formatter class problem

[vineet walia]

import java.util.*;
public class Gencs{
public static void main(String args[]){
String b="fAlSe";
String s1=null,s2=null;
s1=new Formatter().format("%b",b).toString();
s2=new Formatter().format("%b",new Boolean(b)).toString();
System.out.println(s1+" "+s2);
}
}

The Formatter puts contents for you into a nice and readable format for display. The real power won't really appear with the use of booleans, but passing a double value of 12345678.89 in and with the right flags getting a 12,345,678.89 back makes it a little clearer.

Google for a tutorial on the Java Formatter class.

Best you go to the java api docs for this. Formatter is one of the final classes and the format method of the Formatter class doesn't echo the output(prints to the console) instead it simply formats and returns a formatter instance. The java api docs have a really good description on it.

just type "java formatter" in your favorite search engine

You can find java 6 api here . Go to java.util and then find the formatter class. I guess as Himanshu said you should try finding it using the search engine.
