In Java, System.out.println()
is a method that prints a line of output to the standard output stream. Here's a breakdown of each part of the method:
System
is a pre-defined class in Java that provides access to the system resources, including standard input, output, and error streams.
out
is a static member of the System
class that represents the standard output stream, which is used to print output to the console.
println()
is a method of the PrintStream
class that is used to print a line of output to the standard output stream. It prints the specified string followed by a line separator, which is typically a newline character (\n
).
So, when we call System.out.println("Hello, world!")
, we are printing the string "Hello, world!" to the standard output stream, followed by a line separator. The output of this code would be:
System.out.println("Hello, ");
System.out.println("World!");
Output:
Hello,
World!
