The .print() method prints its argument to the console. Unlike the similar .println() method, .print() does not follow its argument with a new line, and any subsequent characters sent to the console will begin wherever the prior .print() command left off.

Syntax

System.out.print(argument);

The argument passed to the print() method will be displayed on the console.

Example

The following example prints some content to the console (Note: if there is to be any spacing between uses of .print() it must be accounted for in the arguments.):

public class PrintExample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.print("Output");
System.out.print(123.456);
System.out.print(true);
}
}

This results in the output:

Output123.456true
