I am trying to format in java using the printf statement like in this webpage: Click Here. But I just can't figure out what the purpose of the $ sign is. Can someone please explain this to me?
Input:
java 100
cpp 65
python 50
Expected Output: ( there should be a space instead of _ )
================================
java___________100
cpp___________065
python_________050
================================
My code:
public class Solution {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner sc=new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("================================");
for(int i=0;i<3;i++)
{
String s1=sc.next();
int x=sc.nextInt();
System.out.printf(s1 + "%03d", x);
System.out.println();
}
System.out.println("================================");
}
}

It is the Argument Index. You can read the docs. I will try to explain the string from the tutorial for you:
String fmt = "%1$4s %2$10s %3$10s%n";
// format
cnsl.printft(fmt, "Items", "Quantity", "Price");
cnsl.printft(fmt, "-----", "-----", "-----");
cnsl.printft(fmt, "Tomato", "1Kg", "15");
cnsl.printft(fmt, "Potato", "5Kg", "50");
cnsl.printft(fmt, "Onion", "2Kg", "30");
cnsl.printft(fmt, "Apple", "4Kg", "80");
In general the format is %[argument_index$][flags][width][.precision]conversion.
In our example, #$ points to the position within our printft() statement. We have 3 strings to be formatted and hence why our format string has 1$, 2$,3$. The number that follows its the width between each argument. This width begins at 0 which means the actual width would be +1. The s is our conversion to string and the %n new line at the end.
Items Quantity Price
----- -------- -----
Tomato 1Kg 15
Potato 5Kg 50
Onion 2Kg 30
Apple 4Kg 80
