Im tyring to write a program that computes the sum of all the odd digits in a number with java. FOr some reason im getting a format conversion error:



at the line:
System.out.printf("Sum of %s's odd digits: %f", number, odd_digits_sum);   



Sum of Exception in thread "main" 0's odd digits: java.util.IllegalFormatConversionException: f != java.lang.Integer
	at java.util.Formatter$FormatSpecifier.failConversion(Unknown Source)
	at java.util.Formatter$FormatSpecifier.printFloat(Unknown Source)
	at java.util.Formatter$FormatSpecifier.print(Unknown Source)
	at java.util.Formatter.format(Unknown Source)
	at java.io.PrintStream.format(Unknown Source)
	at java.io.PrintStream.printf(Unknown Source)
	at practicebook.sum1.main(sum1.java:86)




import java.util.Scanner;

public class sum1 {

	
	 public static void main(String[] args) {
		 
		 Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
		 
		
			System.out.print("Number: ");
			int number = input.nextInt();
			input.close();
			int odd_digits_sum = 0;
			while (number > 0) {
			    int digit = number % 10;
			    if (digit % 2 != 0) {
				odd_digits_sum += digit;
			    }
			    number /= 10;
			}
			System.out.printf("Sum of %s's odd digits: %f", number, odd_digits_sum);   
			
			//System.out.printf("number is " + number);
			
			
			
		    }
	
	
}
//end main}
// end class

Which base?

Java complain because odd_digits_sum is an integer and %f expect something else.
One can guess that if you look at documentation of printf, you will find how it works.
