formatted output

Question

Hey guys, do you know how to output sth like this in Java:

one two three.
1 2 3
I have used printf, tab, and all tools that I know but it has not worked the way I want.

Answer 1

another tip, if you want them left justified, you do this.

System.out.printf("%-3d %-3d %-3d",1,2,3);
