Thread: Java error "java.util.UnknownFormatConversionException"

Why do I get this error?

 
Exception in thread "main" java.util.UnknownFormatConversionException: Conversio
n = '5'
        at java.util.Formatter.checkText(Formatter.java:2502)
        at java.util.Formatter.parse(Formatter.java:2484)
        at java.util.Formatter.format(Formatter.java:2413)
        at java.io.PrintStream.format(PrintStream.java:920)
        at java.io.PrintStream.printf(PrintStream.java:821)
        at Maclaurin1.main(Maclaurin1.java:55)
Press any key to continue . . .

All I want to do is convert a number from degrees to radians (Math.toRadians())and find the Math.sin and Math.cos of it

Post the code in Maclaurin1.java up to and including line 55.

Don't mean to sound harsh, but you're dragging old threads posting a link to one site.
