diffrence b\w println() and printf()..

Answer / vidya sarode

println prints on a new line, where as print prints on the
same line.

For example, in your program you use "print" to print the
word "Detroit" and then you use "print" again to
print "smells" the output would be:
Detroitsmells

If you use "print" to print "Detroit" and then you
use "println" to print "smells" your output would be:
Detroit
smells

Answer / mohneesh

printf in Java works exactly as in C.

it automatically formats your string, which is not possible
in println directly.

System.out.printf("%s\n\t%s","Mohneesh","Wadhwani");

Output:
Mohneesh
Wadhwani

where as you can use String Formatter to format String then
pass it to println to print.
