Newbie System.out.println
Submitted by eclipse007 on Mon, 06/20/2011 - 09:10.
Hi guys,
I’m Nick I’ve just joined the forum. Just wanted to say hello. I am pretty new to Java but have been teaching myself using books and the eclipse IDE. I know quite a lot about the syntax now and can write some pretty simple classes. I think I also understand classes, interfaces, inheritance and so on pretty well so think I’m well on my way.
The thing I’m wondering is what the ‘out’ refers in: system.out.println(“something”)
Usually you will have:
SomeClass.someMethod()
or
SomeClass.someMethod().someSubMethod().someSubMethod() etc…
But when I look at: system.out.println() is actually just looks like:
someClass.someVariable.someMethod()
how can you use dot syntax through a variable?
Hopefully that makes sense to you anyway
Thanks
Nick
