Characters without a special meaning /// are copied verbatim to the result. A percent sign (%) marks the beginning /// of a format specification. Format specifications have the following syntax: /// /// %[][][][.][] /// /// Index, flags, width, precision and prefix are optional. The only required part of /// the format specification, apart from the percent sign, is the type. /// /// The optional index argument has the format "[]" and allows to /// address an argument by its zero-based position (see the example below). /// /// Following are valid type specifications and their meaning: /// /// * b boolean (true = 1, false = 0) /// * c character /// * d signed decimal integer /// * i signed decimal integer /// * o unsigned octal integer /// * u unsigned decimal integer /// * x unsigned hexadecimal integer (lower case) /// * X unsigned hexadecimal integer (upper case) /// * e signed floating-point value in the form [-]d.dddde[]dd[d] /// * E signed floating-point value in the form [-]d.ddddE[]dd[d] /// * f signed floating-point value in the form [-]dddd.dddd /// * s std::string /// * v std::string_view /// * z std::size_t /// /// The following flags are supported: /// /// * - left align the result within the given field width /// * + prefix the output value with a sign (+ or -) if the output value is of a signed type /// * 0 if width is prefixed with 0, zeros are added until the minimum width is reached /// * # For o, x, X, the # flag prefixes any nonzero output value with 0, 0x, or 0X, respectively; /// for e, E, f, the # flag forces the output value to contain a decimal point in all cases. /// /// The following modifiers are supported: /// /// * (none) argument is char (c), int (d, i), unsigned (o, u, x, X) double (e, E, f, g, G) or string (s) /// * l argument is long (d, i), unsigned long (o, u, x, X) or long double (e, E, f, g, G) /// * L argument is long long (d, i), unsigned long long (o, u, x, X) /// * h argument is short (d, i), unsigned short (o, u, x, X) or float (e, E, f, g, G) /// * ? argument is any signed or unsigned int, short, long, or 64-bit integer (d, i, o, x, X) /// /// The width argument is a nonnegative decimal integer or '*' with an additional nonnegative integer value /// preceding the value to be formated, controlling the minimum number of characters printed. /// If the number of characters in the output value is less than the specified width, blanks or /// leading zeros are added, according to the specified flags (-, +, 0). /// /// Precision is a nonnegative decimal integer or '*' with an additional nonnegative integer value preceding /// the value to be formated, preceded by a period (.), which specifies the number of characters /// to be printed, the number of decimal places, or the number of significant digits. /// /// Throws an InvalidArgumentException if an argument index is out of range. /// /// Starting with release 1.4.3, an argument that does not match the format /// specifier no longer results in a BadCastException.
