public class FieldPosition

extends Object

FieldPosition keeps track of the position of the field within the formatted output with two indices: the index of the first character of the field and the index of the last character of the field.

One version of the format method in the various Format classes requires a FieldPosition object as an argument. You use this format method to perform partial formatting or to get information about the formatted output (such as the position of a field).
