Java using printf to format.

Is it possible to print out the months like the picture below with that little space infront of January with printf? If I put "%10s" it will also make the months space far apart, I want before January to have a 10 blank space and between each months there 3 blank space. I try putting a "System.out.print(" ");" before the for loop but I'm trying to use printf . Thanks

Code :

---

String month[]={"Jan","Feb","Mar","Apr","May","Jun","Jul","Aug","Sep","Oct","Nov","Dec"};
        for(String monthOf : month)
        {
            System.out.printf("%6s",monthOf);
        }

Can you build a line showing what you want to print?
Use *s for spaces.

**********S(Jan)***S(Feb)***S(Mar)***S(Apr)***S(Ma y)

^ Like that until Dec but disregard the ()

The picture should give a clearer explaination.

Print the first n spaces(FFFF) before the loop and then the desired spacing(SSS) in the loop
FFFFFSSSJanSSSFeb...

Something like this?

Code :

---

        System.out.print("        ");
        for(String monthOf : month)
        {
            System.out.printf("%6s",monthOf);
        }

Did you try it? Did it give you what you want?

Yes, I got it now. Thank you for your help! Happy New Year :D
