How do I properly align using String.format in Java?

Question

Let\'s say I have a couple variable and I want to format them so they\'re all aligned, but the variables are different lengths. For example:

String a = \"abc         


        

Answer 1

Put negative sign in front of your format specifier so instead of printing 5 spaces to the left of your float value, it adjusts the space on the right until you find the ideal position. It should be fine
