Sometimes in Competitive programming, it is essential to print the output in a given specified format. Most users are familiar with printf function in C. Let us see discuss how we can format the output in Scala. When a String contains values as well as texts succeeding it then formatting is required for changing values and adding texts enclosing it.

%d is used for Integers and
%f is used for floating-points or Doubles.
