java - String formatter not formatting the whole string -

i'm trying use string formatter not working expected..

when print sql_query, prints table1, want overall result "select * table1"

package mysql.first;  public class twoconstructor {     public static void main(string[] args) throws exception {             final string sql_query = "select * %s ".format("table1");     } }  

you not calling method in right way :

 final string sql_query = string.format ("select * %s ","table1"); 

you should have read warnings in ide.

read documentation.

note second argument vararg object... args , hence compiled fine.
