printf not working... JAVA

I have this method in my code to print for a clock. I am still only getting 1 digit of an output even though i need 2. There are purposely no params. I am trying to get the format 12:01:50 PM

     public void printStandard() {
         if (hrs < 12) {
             System.out.printf("%2d:%2d:%2d AM%n", hrs, mins, secs);
         } else {
             System.out.printf("%2d:%2d:%2d PM%n", hrs - 12, mins, secs);
         }
}

You should use %02d instead to have 07 instead of 7 in your time String. It will add padding of 0 in the number if number is less than two digits.

i.e

System.out.printf("%02d:%02d:%02d AM%n", 7, 1, 5);

OUTPUT

07:01:05 AM

NOTE : You can also take a look at SimpleDateFormat and Calendar if you are working with Date.
