Java System.out.println and System.out.print

What is the difference between these two?

 

System.out.println outputs a newline character afterwards:

 

UNIX > cat prog28.java

public class prog28

{

public static void main (String args[])

  {

  System.out.println("International DBA");

  }

}

UNIX > javac prog28.java

UNIX > java prog28

International DBA

UNIX >

 

… but System.out.print doesn’t:

 

UNIX > cat prog29.java

public class prog29

{

public static void main (String args[])

  {

  System.out.print("International DBA");

  }

}

UNIX > javac prog29.java

UNIX > java prog29

International DBAUNIX >

 

… although you can add one yourself if you wish:

 

UNIX > cat prog30.java

public class prog30

{

public static void main (String args[])

  {

  System.out.print("International DBA\n");

  }

}

UNIX > javac prog30.java

UNIX > java prog30

International DBA

UNIX >
