%1s - a string of a minimum of 1 character length, right aligned.
%-1.1d - a int of a minimum of 1 character length, left aligned, and
trimmed at 1 character.
example: "%-1.1d time 10 equals %d", 50, 50
output: "5 times 10 equals 50"
%1.1d - same as above, but right aligned instead.

Subject: Formatting a Variable
Can someone give me a quick lesson on what:
%-1s
%1s
%-1.1d
and
%1.1d
do.
I understand that one of them limits the number of characters shown. One
of
them pads a variable with x amount of spaces. One of them right-justifies
a number by padding the left-side with zero's, and I have no idea what the
other one does.
Thanks.
