Formatting string in Java

Question

Hi I'm new to java so this is going to seem a bit tame. Anyway, in objC, when I want to insert a variable into a string, I would do it like this:

NSString *string = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"test%i", variable];

How do I do this in java?

There are number of ways, but the java.lang.String.format() method is an easy one:

String message = String.format("There are %d ways to leave your lover", 50);
