You responded to one of my annoyances posts re birds on the roof .
You wanted a page number for that example 

Page 131 and 132 deal with it in your book  
Neither :C  nor :G seem to work 
:G is the default and when I use {} its supposed to insert the 100
I tried putting in the :G too


module test;
import tango.io.Stdout;
import tango.text.locale.Locale;
 
 void main(){
 Locale locale = new Locale;
 Stdout("I have lost {:G} of my birds",20).newline;
 Stdout.formatln("I have {:C} birds on the roof",100);
}



[tytower localhost tango]$  mystuff/test
I have lost {} of my birds, 20
I have {unknown format 'C'} birds on the roof

Instantiating a Locale by itself isn't enough. You need to tell Stdout that you
want localized output.

  Stdout.layout = new Locale;


  Stdout("I have lost {:G} of my birds",20).newline;


I don't think the opCall syntax - Stdout() - supports formatting.


  Stdout.formatln("I have {:C} birds on the roof",100);


Now it should work - but it will print something like:

  I have $100 birds on the roof

because C is the format specifier for currency. G is the default, and works
regardless of the locale.


 }

As Sobel said, and I said in the post you referenced; you are not following
the examples you claim not work. To use locale:

Stdout.layout = new Locale; // for the locale specified on that machine
Stdout.formatln("I have lost {:G} of my birds",20).newline;

Stdout by its own does not format, use format/formatln.
You need the layout set to Locale to be able to use the C specifier.

From now on I expect you to test the examples as they are, and understand
them, before you try to modify them for your own purpose. If you find any
actual errors, please create a ticket.

Up yours .I could not give a shit what you expect .Where do you get
off you arrogant prick.I will continue to change examples as I wish
and how I learn is no business of yours. 

You should get off your high horse and answer in a reasonable fashion
or do not bother to answer at all in my opinion and I don't tell
people what to do at all if I can help it.

That said you are of course right but in the example queried by
someone else you gave a pretty cryptic , curt reply which did not
explain anything and it was posted on the .learn forum too.

Well see how long this post stays up until that Phillips bastard 
deletes it again .

See above; you just did. As to my high horse, I'm afraid I would get hurt if
I tried to get off it - it is quite high. Not even my arrogancy suit would
protect me.

I assume that as a supposedly intelligent resident of Queensland, you
would be familiar with your state's racial vilifaction laws. If not,
you may learn more here:
http://www.legislation.qld.gov.au/LEGISLTN/CURRENT/A/AntiDiscrimA91.pdf

Specifically:

Chapter 5A Serious racial and religious
vilification

131A Offence of serious racial, religious, sexuality or gender
identity vilification
(1) A person must not, by a public act, knowingly or recklessly
incite hatred towards, serious contempt for, or severe ridicule
of, a person or group of persons on the ground of the race,
religion, sexuality or gender identity of the person or members
of the group in a way that includes—
(a) threatening physical harm towards, or towards any
property of, the person or group of persons; or
(b) inciting others to threaten physical harm towards, or
towards any property of, the person or group of persons.
Maximum penalty—
(a) for an individual—70 penalty units or 6 months
imprisonment;
(b) for a corporation—350 penalty units.


You have broken this law twice in the past month. I would like to
remind you that there is a potential price to pay for being so
unevolvedly uncivil to fellow Internet users, one clearly highlighted
above. I doubt it would take more than a few long distance phone calls
to your local police to come and remind you of the cost of bigotry.
(Note that person won't be me, but I have hopefully just lowered the
bar for someone else to do it).


David.
