The text under the example should read 2 11/12 years not 3 11/12 years
(from the end of 2000 to the end of 2003 is about 3 years, not 4).

1-line code example at top of page

1) It is probably preferable to use System.out.printf() instead of System.out.format();
they behave identically, but printf() is the name that has been used
for this functionality since the early 1970's in a wide range of programming languages
2) It is definitely better to omit the "1$", "2$" etc unless they
are in some weird order, since the defaults do the obvious thing.
3) The example should arguably end with the newline printer, %n

So the example could be re-written as follows (and will be in a new code file PrintfDemo):

System.out.printf("%04d - the year of %f%n", 1951, Math.PI);
