l

[prime smelt]

why you use %f but then pass another string (but float was expected)

[solid jay]

so class main can print it out

[prime smelt]

you do all the format in the first string argument, and then just pass another argumens

[solid jay]

and the assignment

requires it to

[solid jay]

can u send an example

[prime smelt]

I mean you do format("$f, %f ...", "here if do another string and concat it with a " + someFloat)

could you send the text code

not image

[prime smelt]

String.format("Float number is %f and another is %f\n", 3.14, 2.7);

[solid jay]

huh

im trying to limit all the variables to 3 decimals

do I replace all the + with , ?

[prime smelt]

use %.3f for that

[prime smelt]

instead of concatinating string, put %.3f into first string, and pass a float that will be shown in that place

[solid jay]

why a float

i dont get what you mean

[sage briar]

but it is one of the easiest way

so this code is good enough

you can use stringbuilder if you need to but idk tho

[sharp sigil]

another javascript feature i want in java

[maiden pebble]

lmao you're still on this

[maiden pebble]

js doesn't have formatting.

[sharp sigil]

blah blah has ${money} and owns ${beans} beans

[maiden pebble]

anyways, this guy's already been answered but refuses to learn to use the answers lol

[sharp sigil]

oh i read the thing wrong

whoops

[maiden pebble]

string interp is different from formatting. string formatting supports specifying a lot more

[sharp sigil]

yeah i misread it

[solid jay]

I cant

my assignment requires me to

do it in a very specific way

[maiden pebble]

and you refuse to learn how

[sharp sigil]

[sharp sigil]

…maybe language barrier?

[maiden pebble]

seems more like a mental barrier

they just refuse to learn ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[solid jay]

idk

[maiden pebble]

see?

[solid jay]

idk

okay now idk what is causing the error
