🖨️ Java Output – Printing Text to the Console

One of the first things you’ll do in any programming language is display output — and in Java, it’s simple and powerful. At GoNimbus, we make sure you not only know how to print text but also why it behaves the way it does.

🟢 Printing with System.out.println()

The most commonly used method for printing output in Java is:

System.out.println("Hello, GoNimbus Learner!");

• System is a built-in Java class.
• out is a static member of the System class, representing the standard output stream.
• println() is a method that prints text followed by a new line.

Every time you use println(), it moves the cursor to the next line after printing.

✅ Example:

System.out.println("Java is fun!");
System.out.println("GoNimbus makes learning easy!");
System.out.println("Let's master Java together!");

🖥️ Output:

Java is fun!
GoNimbus makes learning easy!
Let's master Java together!

📝 Using Double Quotes

All text (also called string literals) must be enclosed in double quotes " ".

🚫 Incorrect:

System.out.println(This will cause an error); // Missing quotes

✅ Correct:

System.out.println("This will print successfully.");

---

🔄 The System.out.print() Method

Java also gives you another option: the print() method.

The only difference?

🟡 print() does not move to a new line after outputting the text.

📌 Example:

System.out.print("GoNimbus ");
System.out.print("Java ");
System.out.print("Course");

🖥️ Output:

GoNimbus Java Course

You’ll often use print() when you want to display text continuously on the same line.

💡 Why Add a Space Manually?

When using print(), Java won’t insert any space between printed texts — you have to do it yourself:

System.out.print("Hello");
System.out.print("World");

🖥️ Output:

HelloWorld

✅ Fix it by adding a space:

System.out.print("Hello ");
System.out.print("World");

🖥️ Output:

Hello World

💬 GoNimbus Tip

Stick with println() while learning. It keeps your output clean and avoids confusion with line breaks.

🧪 Practice Now!

Open the GoNimbus Java Playground and try this:

public class OutputExample {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    System.out.println("Welcome to Java!");
    System.out.print("Learning ");
    System.out.print("with ");
    System.out.print("GoNimbus.");
  }
}

🖥️ Output:

Welcome to Java!
Learning with GoNimbus.
