From the docs:
- The format specifiers for general, character, and numeric types have the following syntax:
%[argument_index$][flags][width][.precision]conversion
The optional argument_index is a decimal integer indicating the position of the argument in the argument list. The first argument is referenced by "1$", the second by "2$", etc.
String.format("%1$s %1$s %1$s %1$s %1$s %1$s", hello);
