I was wondering why the printf statement works in the following program:

/* Test.java --tests printf method */

public class Test{
    public static void main(String[] args){
         String string = "Test string";
       
         System.out.printf(string);
    }
}

The java 5.0 documentation only gives two printf methods for PrintStream:  

printf(String format, Object... args)

and

printf(Locale l, String format, Object... args).

I don't see one of the form:

prinf(String s).

Let me know if you can explain this?  Thanks.
