System.out.print is a Java statement used to display output on the console. It allows you to print text or values directly to the standard output stream.
Think of System.out.print as your voice when giving instructions in a classroom. Just like how you use your voice to communicate information and give directions, System.out.print is used by programmers to communicate information and display messages on the console.
Standard output stream: The standard output stream refers to the default destination for output in a program. When using System.out.print, it sends the output directly to this stream, which is usually displayed on the console.
Syntax error: A syntax error occurs when there is an error in the structure or format of code that violates programming language rules. For example, forgetting to include closing parentheses after using System.out.print would result in a syntax error.
Escape sequences: Escape sequences are special characters used within strings that have specific meanings in programming languages. They allow you to represent certain characters or control codes that cannot be typed directly into code.
