Substituting variables in a string without the '+' operator

This question concerns Processing code.

I know that you can substitute a variable in a string by doing the following:

String words = "these words";
text("I want to substitute " + words + "!", textX, textY);

However, I was wondering if there's a way to do it like I am used to doing this in Python:

words = "these words";
print('I want to substitute %s!' % words);

I find this much more readable as the strings aren't as cut up with all types of operators and variables.

You can use printf in Java. It does the String.format() internally, so you can write pretty much in the same way as Python (or any language with printf-like functionality).

String words = "these words";
System.out.printf("I want to substitute %s!", words);

You can use String.format for that:

String formattedString = String.format("I want to substitute %s!", words);
