Java Output / Print

You learned from the previous chapter that you can use the println() method to output values or print text in Java:

System.out.println("Hello World!");

You can add as many println() methods as you want. Note that it will add a new line for each method:

System.out.println("Hello World!");
System.out.println("I am learning Java.");
System.out.println("It is awesome!");

Text must be wrapped inside double quotation marks "".

If you forget the double quotes, an error occurs:

System.out.println("This sentence will work!");
System.out.println(This sentence will produce an error);

There is also a print() method, which is similar to println().

The only difference is that it does not insert a new line at the end of the output:

System.out.print("Hello World! ");
System.out.print("I will print on the same line.");

Note that we add an extra space (after "Hello World! " in the example above) for better readability.

In this tutorial, we will only use println() as it makes the code output easier to read.
