How do you output n number of spaces??

I want to output a varying number of spaces, in visual basic there is a method string(int, string). and for a space you use chr(32). How do you this in JAVA?
So to output 28 spaces you do this:
string(28, chr(32))

shaunkalley11 solution is good, but it would probably be more efficient to do:
public static void printNChars(int n, char c) {
    if (n < 0) {
        throw new IllegalArgumentException("n cannot be less than 0");
    char[] temp = new char[n];
    java.util.Arrays.fill(temp,c);
    System.out.print(temp.toString());

  • How do you show the number of days per month?

    How do you show the number of days per month?
    I am working on a budget.  I want to know how much to amortize each month to fund an investment.  Income comes monthly, but expenses leave in days, or weeks.  The number of days and weeks in months vary. 
    I want to figure out income and expenses per day, per month and per year, so I know how much can be invested each month, week or day.  For a start I would like a formula that shows how many days are in each month?

    thanks..
    I solve my problem as
    public class MyExample {
        public static void main(String a[]) {
            String stdate = "2009-03-01";
            java.sql.Date currentDate = new java.sql.Date(System.currentTimeMillis());
            java.sql.Date preDate = java.sql.Date.valueOf(stdate);
            System.out.println(currentDate);
            System.out.println(preDate);
    //        int dateCom = preDate.compareTo(currentDate);
    //        System.out.println(dateCom);
            long diff = currentDate.getTime() - preDate.getTime();
            int days = (int) Math.floor(diff / (24 * 60 * 60 * 1000));
             System.out.println(days);
    }

  • How do you set the number of rows in a spreadsheet, so that even when you drag data in, in writes over those rows instead of adding a new row?

    How do you set the number of rows you want in a spreadsheet, so that even when you drag data in, in writes over those rows instead of adding a new row?

    After the discovery reported above, I filed this report :
    Bug ID# 10073038
    Summary:
    When Numbers is used on a system with decimal comma a csv file may be good AND wrong
    Steps to Reproduce:
    With Numbers v2, you introduced an interesting enhancement.
    In system using the comma as decimal separator, Numbers requires csv files using the semi-colon as values delimiter.
    In fact it’s true if we OPEN the document dragging its icon on Numbers one or thru the open dialog.
    This said.
    (1) Drag and drop a csv built with the 'semi-colon' standard on a table or on a sheet
    (2) Drag and drop a csv built with the 'comma' standard on a table or on a sheet
    Expected Results:
    Every normally constituted user assume that in
    case (1) he will get a perfectly built table
    case (2) he will get every cells of a row in a single cell
    Actual Results:
    In fact you forgot the drag and drop way of use and in
    case (1) every values separated by semi-colon are inserted in a single cell
    case (2) values separated by comma are correctly spread in a table
    isn’t it ridiculous ?
    Regression:
    Except looking in  QuickView to see which is exactly the structure of the file to decide the way we will insert it in a Numbers document, we may use an applescript fair enough to replace the semi-colons by TAB characters
    or
    to replace the commas by TABs and the decimal periods by commas
    Notes:
    While I am on this subject, I wish to make two proposals:
    (1)  It would be fine to format the date according to the ISO format year-mm-dd when you export a Numbers doc to csv.
    Doing that, dates would be imported correctly in every countries.
    At this time, on an English system, you export as mm/dd/year.
    If the doc is open on a system using the format dd/mm/year, the results will be odd.
    On a system using the format dd/mm/year, you export this way and so, if the doc is open on a system using the format mm/dd/year the results are odd too.
    As every localized versions accept the ISO format (at least on entry), using it in the export scheme would give a correct behavior everywhere.
    (2) It would be fine to add the format Tab Separated Values in the Export pane.
    TSV + ISO date format would give documents opening flawlessly everywhere.

  • How do you return the number of Rows in a ResultSet??

    How do you return the number of Rows in a ResultSet? It's easy enough to do in the SQL query using COUNT(*) but surely JDBC provides a method to return the number of rows.
    The ResultSetMetaData interface provides a method for counting the number of columns but nothing for the rows.
    Thanks

    No good way before JDBC2.0. u can use JDBC2.0 CachedRowSet.size() to retrieve the number of rows got by a ResultSet.

  • How do you output a field column depending on another fields value?

    when selecting a field in a query, how do you output it on its own column depending on another fields value?
    For example
    Select
    a.gross_vol as Gas_vol when a.Object_code = "GAS"
    a.gross_vol as Wat_Vol when a.object_code = "water"

    how do you output it on its own column depending on another fields value?Scalar subquery maybe?:
    michaels>  select (select ename from emp where empno = 7788) scott_ename,
           (select ename from emp where empno = 7839) king_ename
      from dual
    SCOTT_ENAM KING_ENAME

  • How do you regulate the number of emails that are kept on your phone before they are deleted?

    HOW DO YOU CHANGE THE NUMBER OF EMAILS THAT ARE KEPT ON YOUR PHONE BEFORE YOU DELETE THEM?

    Your carrier sets this by time, not the number of "rings" since different ring tones take different times/ring.  The typical setting is 30 seconds, sometimes up to 40 seconds.  Contact your carrier to shorten it.

  • How do you limit the number of emails that download in ios7?

    How do you limit the number of emails that download in iOS7? In previous versions, I was able to limit (i.e. 50/100/ etc), the number that would download to my phone at any given time - other than new emails. Past/old emails would only be reloaded if I deleted newer ones or I requested more be loaded.

  • How do you control the number of rings before voic...

    When people call me, Skype rings far to many times before voice mail comes on.  How do you reduce the number of rings on an inbound call, so that voice mail comes on in 4 to 5 rings?

    Hi, billwalker1125,
    Skype does not determine when to send calls to voice mail by the number of rings, but instead by the amount of time that has elapsed.  Check your settings (in Windows, it would be Tools -> Options -> Calls -> Voice Messages -> Start recording a voice message if ...   Remember to Save your changes!

  • How do you limit the number of rows return from query?

    How do you limit the number of rows return from query? Do all databases support this kind of feature?

    i think the standard is limit
    to get the top 30
    select * from mytable LIMIT 30;returns the first 30 rows
    also if you want a range
    select * from mytable LIMIT 10,30;returns 30 rows starting from 10
    this last one is useful for displaying ranges... something similar happens in these forums when viewing topics and messages
