    Question Begginer Question please help ASAP! (Easy to Answer)

    Hi, first of all i appologise right upfront for not reading your posting rules yet, but i'm in a huge rush atm finishing an assigmnent due tommorow morning and i need a bit of help with a simple printf statement.

    My question is very simple, when using System.out.printf(); statement you can use it to show result from a double. for example i'm showing a value from variable so i say %6.2f meaning 6 digits long and 2 numbers after decimal. So if my number is 5 digits long it will print 5 digits and a blank space at the end to count as the 6th character in the number. My question is if there are 5 numbers, how do i tell it to print the space before the 5 numbers so instead of looking like this:

    number = 54.04 ;

    to look like this

    number = 54.04;

    I tried my very best to explain and in desparate need of help ^^ thank you.
