import java.util.Scanner;

public class Solution {

	public static void main(String[] args) {
		//Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
		//String s = scan.next();
		//double d = scan.nextDouble();
		String prefix1 = "short text:";
		String prefix2 = "long texto:";
		String msg = "indented";
		/*
		 * The second string begins after 25 characters. 
		 * The dash means that the first string is left-justified.
		 */
		String format = "%-25s%s%n";
		System.out.printf(format, prefix1, msg);
		System.out.printf(format, prefix2, msg);
