I have this code:
public String toString(Day day)
{
String s = day.getDayName() + " " + day.toString();
return s;
}
This is Day class's toString method:
public String toString()
{
String s = "";
for (Slot slot: slots)
s += slot.toString();
return s;
}
When called over and over again it prints:
barbi
monday 10: X 11: 12: 2: 3: 4:
tuesday 10: 11: 12: 2: 3: 4: X
wednesday 10: 11: 12: 2: 3: 4:
thursday 10: 11: 12: 2: 3: 4:
friday 10: 11: 12: 2: 3: 4:
bobbi
monday 10: 11: 12: 2: 3: 4:
tuesday 10: 11: 12: 2: 3: 4:
wednesday 10: 11: 12: 2: 3: 4:
thursday 10: 11: 12: 2: X 3: 4:
friday 10: 11: 12: 2: 3: 4:
bunny
monday 10: 11: 12: 2: 3: 4:
tuesday 10: 11: 12: 2: 3: 4:
wednesday 10: 11: 12: 2: 3: 4:
thursday 10: 11: 12: 2: 3: 4:
friday 10: 11: 12: 2: 3: 4:
However, I would like to print it this way:
barbi, income is $95.00
Monday 10: 11: 12: X 2: 3: 4:
Tuesday 10: 11: 12: 2: 3: 4:
Wednesday 10: 11: 12: 2: 3: 4:
Thursday 10: 11: 12: 2: 3: 4:
Friday 10: 11: 12: 2: 3: 4:
bobbi, income is $45.00
Monday 10: 11: 12: 2: 3: 4:
Tuesday 10: 11: 12: 2: 3: X 4:
Wednesday 10: 11: 12: 2: 3: 4:
Thursday 10: 11: 12: 2: 3: 4:
Friday 10: 11: 12: 2: 3: 4:
bunny, income is $0.00
Monday 10: 11: 12: 2: 3: 4:
Tuesday 10: 11: 12: 2: 3: 4:
Wednesday 10: 11: 12: 2: 3: 4:
Thursday 10: 11: 12: 2: 3: 4:
Friday 10: 11: 12: 2: 3: 4:
I know this works with formatted printing in Java. But I have no clue how to do that.
解决方案
You could use String.format(), which will accept widths.
I think you could change:
String s = day.getDayName() + " " + day.toString();
to:
return String.format("%9s %s", day.getDayName(), day.toString());
And get what you want.
