Yes, there is also String.format() which supports output ala C printf() since Java 1.5.

String.format(String format, Object... args) 
System.out.format() // alternativ
System.out.printf() // alternativ

Perhaps not exactly equal but Java does have String.format which provides very similar functionality. You'll find that Java and C# are very similar.
