In C# there is the $ operator for strings:
$"Some Text here with {aVariable}";
Is there a similar way of doing that in Java?
The current way I do this is:
"Some Text here with " + aVariable;

There is no operator in java, but classes that do what you want: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/text/MessageFormat.html – OH GOD SPIDERS Jul 12 '22 at 15:20

1JFYI _"So in C# there is the $ operator for strings (Ex. $"Some Text here with {Variable here}";"_ - is called string interpolation. – Guru Stron Jul 12 '22 at 15:24

Strictly speaking, it's not actually an operator. If it were an operator, you could use it on a string variable to achieve the same result with the contents of the variable. You can't. It's just a different kind of string expression wher the `$` is part of the delimiters. – madreflection Jul 12 '22 at 15:28

Not yet but there is a [JEP](https://openjdk.org/jeps/0) for something similar: [String Templates](https://openjdk.org/jeps/8273943). – David Conrad Jul 12 '22 at 15:33

1alternatives (workaround?): `"Some Text here with %s".formatted(aVariable)`, `String.format("Some Text here with %s", aVariable)` or (kind of older) `MessageFormat.format("Some Text here with {0}", aVariable)` – user16320675 Jul 12 '22 at 16:53

Yea I knew about the String.format, and whatnots, it's similar to how you can do it in C++. I was just hoping that maybe someone knew of the same kind of way as it could be handled in C#. @GuruStron Thanks, I had no idea that it was called that. I just know practical uses for it xD – SocialHermit Jul 25 '22 at 02:46
