Why System.out.println() is ok but System.out.print(); ?

why System.out.println() is ok but System.out.print();?
if i leave empty between parantheses in print .compiler gives error but println() doesnt?

Think about it for a moment. What would System.out.print() do without any parameters? What CAN it do?That's easy: print() COULD behave like println() without writing a newline at the end ;)
But I agree with Kayaman and Ram: javadoc is very nice, you simply have to read it.

  • What is the different  between System.out.println and out.print

    we move a project , jsp form to servlet to mysql db
    suddenly we get Chinese input problem
    on meantime only Thing I know is
    if( chineseName!=null) {
                           chineseName= new String( chineseName.getBytes("ISO-8859-1"),"UTF-8");
                         out.print(chineseName); //display Chinese
                          System.out.println("Hello1"+chineseName ); // display unread symbol
                 }I don't know why when we insert the value into db by StudentInsert(university_ID, surName, english_Name, chineseName, Address)
    the db get the value from System.out.println
    what setting decide my out put through System.out.println

    Thank you for the reply!
    after two days of search and guess.... I found out
    for Web application , which under glassfish , you need to put your jsp page under WEB-INF,
    other wise the server jsp turn your Chinese character that come from jsp request form to UTF8 symbol.
    not ideal how to change the configuration in glassfish yet!

  • System.out.print and System.out.println

    is it true that the System.out.print("\n") will print a new line character in all platforms?
    in other words is it ok to assume that System.out.print("\n") and System.out.println(); will give the same output regardless of platform?

    System.out.print("\n") Chances are that will produce different results on different platforms as some platforms use \n, some use \r some use \n\r (or is it \r\n?).
    The question is why do you care when System.out.println() will do what you want? An alternative:
    System.out.print(System.getProperty("line.separator"));

    hi,Yes. But it's a good idea for new Java programmers to become accustomed to using helpful resources like the API Javadocs because it's much faster then waiting for replies everytime you have a question. For experienced developers the API Javadocs are an indispensible resource.

  • Strange System.out.print behavior inside a for loop

    I'm trying to create a simple ASCII progress bar in the console that would display like this:
    |--------------------------------------------|
    ============================More equal signs would appear as time goes on. At least this is what I want to happen.
    Instead, what happens is, none of the equal signs are printed until the very end, after the for loop in which the System.out.print("=") statement is in, has exited.
    This is my code (probably more than necessary is shown, but the important part is the for loop):
        public void addSomeDiffys(int numOfDiffys, int minInt, int maxInt) {
            Diffy currentDiffy;
            System.out.println("\nCreating Diffys.");
            System.out.println("|--------------------------------------------|");
            for (int i=0; i < numOfDiffys; i++) {
                currentDiffy = new Diffy(minInt, maxInt);
                if ((i/(double)numOfDiffys)*100 % 2 == 0)
                    System.out.print("=");
                diffyList.add(currentDiffy);           
            System.out.println("\n" + diffyList.size() + " Diffys created.\n");
            System.out.println("Sorting according to highest rating...");
            Collections.sort(diffyList,Diffy.HIGHEST_RATING_ORDER);
            System.out.println("Done.\n");
        }I also tried changing the System.out.print("="); to System.out.println("="); This time it works as expected, its just not very pretty...
    I get something like this:
    |--------------------------------------------|
    =
    =
    =
    =
    =
    =
    =
    =
    =
    =
    =
    =So again, when I use println, rather than print, the equal signs are printed over time, slowly, as the progress increases. When using print, Nothing happens for a long time, and then suddenly they all appear after the for loop has terminated, which makes no sense.
    Thanks for any help.

    When using print, Nothing happens
    for a long time, and then suddenly they all appear
    after the for loop has terminated, which makes no
    sense.
    Yes it does make sense! The characters are buffered inside the PrintStream and written when there is a full line to write. You could try a flush() after each = is written but I have no confidence that it will make any difference.

  • Java - Eclipse debug applet with System.out.print in jboss console

    I use System.out.print to debug my java programs using Eclipse. I'm new
    with applets, and when nothing showed up in the applet window, I tried
    using print statements. I was expecting to see them in the jboss console like
    always, but there was nothing there. I tried looking this problem up
    online and found nothing. Does anyone know how I can use print
    statements to debug my applet? (Japplet to be specific).

    System.out.println works for me. The output statment are visible in the Console Window within Eclipse.

    2. What is the most natural way to check for the press of an enter key? Is there a java attribute or method for the "Enter key" since it is different on unix and ms-dos? Thanks

    On the following code, two questions:
    1. the output is not what I expected. Why doesn't
    the System.out.println(i+" "+(char)i); print
    everytime i press enter a character? From:
    http://scv.bu.edu/Doc/Java/tutorial/java/nutsandbolts/input.html
    ================
    "The read() method provided by System.in reads a single character and returns either the character that was read or, if there are no more characters to be read, -1.
    When a program reads from the standard input stream, the program blocks waiting for you to type something in. The program continues to wait for input until you give it some indication that the input is complete. To indicate to any program that reads from the standard input stream that you have finished entering characters, type the end-of-input character appropriate for your system at the beginning of a new line"
    ================
    In other words, Java can't do what you want to do.

  • Problem with national characters calling System.out.print(...)

    I need to develop an application printing spanish characters like "�" (ce trencada) "�", "�", etc.

    Anyone can help me, please?
    Thank you in advance.

    check the list of fonts available. You can use the following code for the purpose.
      public static void main(String args[])
            String fonts[] = getFontNames();
            for(int i = 0; i < fonts.length; i++)
                System.out.println(fonts);

  • How to view System.out.print() messages for adapters in OIM 9.0.3

    I have created an adaptor for OIM from a java jar file. When that adaptor executes after some updates on tables it produces some execptions/error.
    I can not see the details of these exceptions as I do not know where is the standard output located when adapter is executed via OIM.
    Where cen I see output from my code lines that contain: System.out.println()?
    thanks

    I am not sure if logging is enabled as OIM was installed previously by another person - how can I check if it is enabled and how to use log4j in this case?

  • HOW TO system.out.PRINT a curly brace: {

    How is it possible to print a {  with command: system.out.print{ "text { text"}; ?
    Thanks

    How is it possible to print a {  with command:
    system.out.print{ "text { text"}; ?
    ThanksYour command has 2 errors in it.
    1) "system" must start with a capital "S"
    2) You used curly brackets where you should have used parentheses
    This works: System.out.print( "text { text");
    (although I suspect that you really want to use println, not print)

  • Why can't I get my printer to print out a playlist from i-tunes? It used to work but now my printer doesn't seem to receive the "print" command.

    Why can't I get my printer to print out a playlist from i-tunes? It used to work, but now the printer doesn't seem to recognize the "print" command coming from i-tunes. The printer works for other applications!

    I  finally solved this problem after toiling with it for a couple of  days.  Solution:  Once you have  burned your CD you must go back into  iTunes to your music/playlists and select the playlist you just burned  and click file; print and you will  get the mosaics that we have been  accustomed to.  I was on hold with  Apple Support when I found this  myself.  Yes......!!! Problem solved..for me anyway.  Good luck!
