How can I print string expressions one under the other in line in java?

Issue

In a school project, I need to print string expressions one under the other in the same alignment. How can I do that.

enter image description here

For example, in a situation like here, how can I print names, surnames and numbers in the same line, one under the other? Thank you in advance to everyone who answers and helps.

Solution

Your question isn't very clear, but I think you want to print a table of data out in Java. Try using the System.out.format() method. Here's a quick example of how to use it:

System.out.format("%-15s %-15s %-15s\n", "Column 1", "Column 2", "Column 3");
System.out.format("%-15s %-15s %-15s\n", "Hello", "World", "!");
System.out.format("%-15s %-15s %-15s\n", "This", "is", "a table");

This will output the following table to the console:

Column 1        Column 2        Column 3
Hello           World           !
This            is              a table

If you want to display the table in a more sophisticated way, (right now, it might not be very clear that it's a table at all!), you can try using a third-party library such as j-text-utils or ASCIITable. These libraries provide more advanced features such as sorting, row numbering, and more. Here's an example of how to use j-text-utils to print a table:

TextTable tt = new TextTable(new String[]{"Column 1", "Column 2", "Column 3"}, new String[][]{
    {"Hello", "World", "!"},
    {"This", "is", "a table"}
});
tt.printTable();

This will output the following table to the console:

+---------------+---------------+---------------+
| Column 1      | Column 2      | Column 3      |
+---------------+---------------+---------------+
| Hello         | World         | !             |
+---------------+---------------+---------------+
| This          | is            | a table       |
+---------------+---------------+---------------+

If this isn't what you want to do, please update your question with more details. It's not very clear right now.
