public String format(Description d,
                     Representation p,
                     String format,
                     Object... args)

Interprets a printf-style format String for failed assertion messages. It is similar to String.format(String, Object...), except for:

1. the value of the given Description is used as the first argument referenced in the format string
2. each of the arguments in the given array is converted to a String by invoking Representation.toStringOf(Object).

Parameters:

d - the description of the failed assertion, may be null.

p - the Representation used

format - the format string.

args - arguments referenced by the format specifiers in the format string.

Returns:

A formatted String.

Throws:

NullPointerException - if the format string is null.
