I really need help: I cannot figure out the difference between println and print

[ngquochung86]

Hi,
The teacher asks me to use both methods System.out.println ( )and System.out.print ( ) but I only see that they are the same. I have just worked out with Java for a few days and I really need help. I appreciate your help a lot. Thank you so much.
My sample code:
public class Question4{//The class name
public static void main(String[]args){ //method name
System.out.println(new String("This is my first try"));
System.out.println();//The blank line
System.out.println(new String("at programming in Java"));
System.out.println();//The blank line
System.out.println("It's fun!");

I suggest playing with them a bit to see how they behave.

System.out.print("test print. ");
System.out.println("test println.");
System.out.print("test print with newline.\n");
System.out.println("test println with newline.\n");
System.out.println("--END OF TEST--");

Try this, and it will give you the answer.

Everything you need to know about methods are in the API. The println and print methods are in the url=http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/io/PrintStream.html]PrintStream[/url] (out is an instance of PrintStream).

System.out.print() Prints everything across
System.out.println() Prints everything skipping a space

For example:

System.out.println("OOH, FISH");
System.out.println("Bye fish");

System.out.print("OOH, FISH");
System.out.print("Bye fish");

Output:

OOH, FISH
Bye fish

OOH, Fish Bye fish
