Thread: Formatting data with format

I am supposed to create an application that will display the first five values of a multiplication table of 2. The computer must calculate the product. The generated table must be displayed as follows:

********************************************Table of 2*******************************************

2 * 1 = 2

2 * 2 = 4

2 * 3 = 6

2 * 4 = 8

2 * 5 = 10

------------------------------------------------------End------------------------------------------------------

Here is my source code:

package firstfivevaluesapp;
import java.util.Scanner;

/**
*
* @author SETH
*/
public class FirstFiveValuesApp {

/**
* @param args the command line arguments
*/
public static void main(String[] args) {
// declare variables
int number,multiplier;
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);

System.out.println("Enter the number: ");
number = input.nextInt();
input.close();

for( multiplier = 1; multiplier <=5; multiplier++ ){
System.out.printf("%d * %d = %d\n" +
"**********Table of 2**********" +"\n"+
number, multiplier, (number * multiplier)+"\n" +
"-------------End--------------");
}

}

}

Here is the output:

Enter the number:
2

Look at the Formatter class's API doc to see what the valid format character is for a String.
d is for decimal integer.

The header line should be printed one time before the loop.
The code inside of the loop would print the numbers for the table.
The End line should be printed after the loop ends.

Please edit your post and wrap your code with code tags:

to get highlighting and preserve formatting.
