What is the meaning of System.out.print in java?

Answer 1

System.out.print is a standard output function used in java. where System specifies the package name , out specifies the class name and print is a function in that class. This function is different from the System.out.println() since it does not place a new line after printing the variable. System.out.println("hello"); // prints hello System.out.print("hello"); //also prints hello but if you then

System.out.println("how are you"); //it continues from the last print resulting in

// hellohow are you This also calls the default toString() method of the variable you put as the parameter.

Note: not all Classes have a helpful toString() method, i.e. arrays do not have toString(), thus a nasty memory address is printed.

Answer 2

System.out is a reference to a PrintStream object which sends all output to standard out - normally a console window.

Making a call to System.out.print(x) will print out any object, x.
