Hi all, I hope you are well. I am trying to compile a java file using terminal in Ubuntu, but I am getting the following error message:
As you can see, I am passing three String arguments to the printf method, which, as far as I can tell from the API is perfectly legal as this would correspond to the object varargs printf method.
Interestingly, this compiles & executes fine in NetBeans (on the same machine, so same JDK version). Please can someone tell me if I have missed something here? Many thanks.

Hi quuba, thanks for the reply. Having tried that, I still get the same compilation error at the command line, although it works fine in NetBeans. Seems very odd!

Compile with additional javac options to obtain more info:

if 1.5 - bad
if >1.5 - ok.

Here is a basic example:
int i = 461012;
System.out.format("The value of i is: %d%n", i);
The %d specifies that the single variable is a decimal integer. The %n is a platform-independent newline character.
