StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
// Send all output to the Appendable object sb
Formatter formatter = new Formatter(sb, Locale.US);
 
// Explicit argument indices may be used to re-order output.
formatter.format("%4$2s %3$2s %2$2s %1$2s", "a", "b", "c", "d")
// -> " d  c  b  a"
 
// Optional locale as the first argument can be used to get
// locale-specific formatting of numbers.  The precision and width can be
// given to round and align the value.
formatter.format(Locale.FRANCE, "e = %+10.4f", Math.E);
// -> "e =    +2,7183"
 
// The '(' numeric flag may be used to format negative numbers with
// parentheses rather than a minus sign.  Group separators are
// automatically inserted.
formatter.format("Amount gained or lost since last statement: $ %(,.2f",
            balanceDelta);
// -> "Amount gained or lost since last statement: $ (6,217.58)"

See the Formatter docs for other modifiers.
