7,844 Points[SOLVED] Java printf not seeming to work for me?
I have the following code:
package p;
import java.io.*;
public class Test {
// -----------------------------------------------------------------------
// Constants.
// -----------------------------------------------------------------------
public final static String TAG = Test.class.getSimpleName();
// -----------------------------------------------------------------------
// Members.
// -----------------------------------------------------------------------
private long mDuration = 0;
// -----------------------------------------------------------------------
// Constructors.
// -----------------------------------------------------------------------
public Test(long milliseconds) {
mDuration = milliseconds;
}
// -----------------------------------------------------------------------
// Methods.
// -----------------------------------------------------------------------
public void start() {
System.out.printf("%-6d: \n", mDuration);
}
}
The message I am receiving is that the method printf(String, Object[] in the type PrintStream is not applicable for arguments (String, long)
What am I missing?

7,844 PointsApparently, this was a result of a project setting in Eclipse. It had to do with the Java Compiler compliance level.
