Java for Beginners: The method println

Friendlier: Added screen numbers for an easier navigation back and forth.

Hello and welcome to our Java series for beginners. In this tutorial, we wrap up the final lines of the MyApp application, and take a fairly exhaustive look at the invocation of the method println(). If you have asked yourself why can we not simply invoke "println()", or what does the "out" represent, or why this statement begins with "System", then you should probably take a look at this tutorial. We have explained "System", "out" and "println" individually, and also why they figure in the sequence that they do. If you are looking for an in-depth explanation of System.out.prinltn(), then look take a look at this tutorial.

About this series:
This series covers the basics of Java, all the way from downloading and installing Java to coding and decoding a Java application that involves some of the most basic but important concepts and ideas of Java's object-oriented programming.

We hope you will enjoy this series of tutorials -- we intend to make them easy to assimilate and for this we assume absolutely no familiarity with programming. This particular series is ideal for Java beginners as well as for those who just need to make sure that they have the basics right, and you will see that we have gone to lengths to explain concepts which are often not treated quite so thoroughly.

Do let us know if you have suggestions to improve or enhance the content or material -- we are all ears for ideas.
