CodePudding user response：

Java println() is the original "print text" method. You can use it like this:

System.out.println("The health is " kiloliters);

printf() is a newer addition to Java; it allows "formatted printing" like C, C and Java. You can use it like this:

System.out.printf("The health is %.2f",kiloliters);

Yet another option is String.format():

System.out.println(String.format("The health is %.2f",kiloliters));

CodePudding user response：

You should use System.out.format() instead:

System.out.format("The health is %.2f\n",kiloliters);
