Answer 1

It is working for ("%-6s",a+" ");

Answer 2

But why can't we use print or println for it ? What is the necessity of using this? Is it specifically designed for spaces?

Answer 3

You can use format()

System.out.format("%-5s", a+" ");

Answer 4

The format() is an easy way to format the output with C style, like printf() and sprintf(). It is included in console and string.
