Formating a string in Java when I'm not printing it

Question

How can I format a string in Java when I'm not printing it?

Eg. in Python I can do :

s = "%f" % f

All the Java examples I'm seeing online are using printf or some streams. How can I just create a formatted string internally?

You can use the String Formatter class:

public class Format {

   public static void main(String[] args) {
        String s = String.format("%f ", myfloat);
}

}
