A shorter way of output?

[PlasmaDragon]

In Java, as we all know, you have to type System.out.println to just
print out one thing. Before Java, I used C++, and it was simply cout.
So, out of curiosity, is there any way to print stuff in Java without
having to type System.out.?

No. But you could make a helper class ... eg. Printer.println("something");
where println() makes the call to System.out.println. Not much of a saving
but slightly more compact code if that's what you're after.

If you're not worried about primitives:
public class SOPHelper {
public static void p(Object o) {
System.out.println(o);
}

public static void main(String[] args) {
p("Hello world");
}
}

For primitives, you have to overload that method (for now). Alternately:
public class SOPHelper {
public static void main(String[] args) {
java.io.PrintStream o = System.out;
o.println("Hello world");
}
}

I've figured it out. All you need to do is add a very short print (or
whatever you want to call it) function at the end of your program,
like this:

import java.io.*;
import java.lang.*;
public class ShortPrint
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
printf("Hello There!");
printf("5+5 is "+(5+5));
printf("5/9 is "+(5.0/9.0));
printf("16/32 is "+(16.0/32.0));
}

public static void printf(String arg)
{
System.out.println(arg);
}
}

cout is just a stream object, what you are really asking is there a way
to overload operators in java and the answer is no.

this was a deliberate design decision because it was felt that
overloading operators created more problems than they solved....

thats from the creators of java and can be found in the java archives....

hi
first of all u either need to make a class or u need to write this
method in evry class you wish to use
eitherways theres not much of a saving
oth the downside this can just print string args ...you need to
overload for all types
another thing is consider
System.out.println(5+5);

so its best you stick to System.out ;) wot u say :D

regards
amey
