Print Statement in Java

Java provides 3 different functions to print the text to the screen.

• print()
• println()
• printf()

The print() function

The print() function is used to print the text to the screen. It does not add a new line to the output's end.

Anything that is enclosed in double quotes("") is considered as a string or text.
If there is no double quotes("") syntax, then error will be thrown by the compiler.

Example

System.out.print("print() function.");
System.out.print("Will print in the same line without break.");

Output

print() function.Will print in the same line without break.

The println() function

The println() function is used to print the text to the screen and a new line will be added.

Example

System.out.print("print() function.");
System.out.print("Will print in the same line without break.");

Output

print() function.
Will print in the same line without break.

The printf() function

The printf() function is used to print a formated output.

Syntax

System.out.printf(format, arguments);

Example

System.out.printf("Welcome to %s","Java");

Output

Welcome to Java

Here %s is an access specifier for a string. Here, the string value will replace that %s which is Java.
