How to do string formatting with placeholders in Java (like in Python)?
format, java, placeholder, python, string
Solution
The `MessageFormat` class looks like what you're after.
System.out.println(MessageFormat.format("{0} + {1} = {2}", x, y, x + y));
Problem
I am new to Java and am from Python. In Python we do string formatting like this: ``` >>> x = 4 >>> y = 5 >>> print("{0} + {1} = {2}".format(x, y, x + y)) 4 + 5 = 9 >>> print("{} {}".format(x,y)) 4 5 ``` How do I replicate the same thing in Java?
