Better String formatting in Scala

Question

With too many arguments, String.format easily gets too confusing. Is there a more powerful way to format a String. Like so:

\"This is #{number}          


        

Answer 1

In Scala 2.10 you can use string interpolation.

val height = 1.9d
val name = "James"
println(f"$name%s is $height%2.2f meters tall")  // James is 1.90 meters tall
