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:
    
    the value of the given Description is used as the first argument referenced in the format string
    
    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.
