Specify Formatter a Minimum Field Width in Java

Description

The following code shows how to specify Formatter a Minimum Field Width.

An integer between the % sign and the format conversion code acts as a minimum field width specifier.

The default padding is done with spaces.

If you want to pad with 0's, place a 0 before the field width specifier.

For example, %05d will pad a number of less than five digits with 0's.

Example

/*from   w w  w.ja  v  a 2 s  .  com*/
import java.util.Formatter;

public class Main {
  public static void main(String args[]) {
    Formatter fmt = new Formatter();

    fmt.format("%05d", 88);
    System.out.println(fmt);
  }
}

The code above generates the following result.
