Hi,
The Java SE version 5 incorporated the ability to format output
similar to the function printf of the C programming language.
The Java syntax for doing so is as follows:
System.out.printf("format_string",
comma_separated_list_of_expressions_to_print);
In your case e has to be an String, so the %s tells to the function
printf() that you will print and String.
For example:
String e = "It's and exception";
System.out.printf("Caught runtime exception = %s", e);
RESULT > Caught runtime exception = It's and exception
Greetings and have a nice day,
