Java labs: How to format the output?

OTG-467455

The java labs we have completed consisted of hacking the code to produce the desired output.

I am interested in tidying up the output to do the following:

1. Strings and value in two separate columns
2. values printing the "0.00" format

I am using something like the one below. I don't know if that is going to help in

I am interested in tidying up the output to do the following:Strings and value in two separate columns (???) 

 

public void printDetails() {

      System.out.println(String.format("Account Owner: %s", accountOwner));

      System.out.println(String.format("Account Type: %s", accountType));

      DecimalFormat df = new DecimalFormat("$ #,##0.00");

      String formattedBal = df.format(balance);

      System.out.println(String.format("Balance for customer [%s]:  %s", accountOwner, formattedBal));

}

Sounds like you might be interested in Java Regular Expressions (regex) and pattern matching.  I've found regular expressions useful for formatting and searching Strings and numbers. There is a tutorial from Oracle (https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/essential/regex/ ).  I've also had luck googling for regular expression examples, since there's so many tricks, options, characters to keep track of.
