Hello guys. I have a question. How is: -
System.out.println("Hello, world!");
-
a method? I haven't typed anything like: -
void System.out.println() {
-
blahblahblah
-
}
-
and I never typed:
So how is this a method call? Also do you think that Java C++ etc should be called Object Oriented Programming Languages(oop) or Class Oriented Programming Languages(cop). Thanks :-)

println is a method of the "out" object that is a member of the "System" object. It is already defined, you don't have to define it yourself.
Also do you think that Java C++ etc should be called Object Oriented Programming Languages(oop) or Class Oriented Programming Languages(cop). Thanks :-)
Is this a homework question?

What exactly would be the difference between Object Orientated and Class Orientated languages?
Classes are blueprints used to create objects, so in that sense, they would be one and the same.
println is a method of the "out" object that is a member of the "System" object. It is already defined, you don't have to define it yourself.
As what I've learned println is a method of the out object and out object is from the System class.

Right, right. out is a static instance of a PrintStream class, and it belongs to the System class. I can't remember if System is instantiated or not.
Anyway, this is all just semantics.

And apparently asked and answered in another forum:

Yep, It's a Java question in case anyone hasn't noticed.

Yeah, I thought so, but then I remembered J#. So I guess technically its ok for a .NET forum, right?

That's the reason why the thread has not been moved to the Java forum.
However it should be MERGED with the java thread.
Since identical psots really do not belong in TWO places.
