    Default Java error "java.util.UnknownFormatConversionException"

    Why do I get this error?
    Code:

    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 that trows the exception. It seems you use a printf call and the format you are passing is invalid (formats are in the form %something). If you post the code excerpt somebody might point you to the wrong format.

    Heres a snippet of the code:
     	public static void main(String[] args)
     	{
    		double x;
    		x = (Math.PI)/4;
                    double  rad=0;
    		double result=0;
    		System.out.printf("Evaluate x = %1.0f",x);
    		result = sine_evaluate(x);
    		System.out.printf("%nSin Result = %5.15f",result);
    		result = cos_evaluate(x);
    		System.out.printf("%nCos Result = %5.15f%n",result);
    		rad=Math.toRadians(x);
                    result = Math.sin(rad);
                   System.out.printf("%nActual Sine Result = %5.15f%n",result); 
                   result = Math.cos(rad);
                   System.out.printf("%nActual Cos Result = %5.15f%n",result);
     
    	}

    Hi,

    Can you please put the code for sine_evaluate(x) and cos_evaluate(x);
