Question about String variables

[pocketmonsterr6]

Hi, I just started to take a computer programming class, and Im having trouble understanding how to write out a String variable into standard output. Any tips or advice?

Umm... it would probably help out a whole lot if you told us what language you were using. Otherwise all I can tell you is read the book and ask your teacher.

[pocketmonsterr6]

Oh! Im terribly sorry, I completely forgot.
Im using java.

Oh! Im terribly sorry, I completely forgot.
Im using java.

System.out.println(yourString) ;

Im using java.

System.out.printlnyourString) ;

So if my String variable is named message, and it just wants to see the variable on the screen, it would just be

System.out.println (message)

Cause I've been entering that in myProgramminglab and it's counting my code as incorrect.

MyProgramminglab highlights the errors and throughout the code only println is highlighted and it says, This may need to be replaced. and thats where I get confused.

Want to copy your code to pastebin or gist.github.com and show it to us?

I am not familiar with "MyProgramminglab", can you show us a screenshot?

That's strange, because it appears that you typed that command exactly right according to the question.
You could try using 'print' instead of 'println'.

What book/course are you using? I want to add it to my list of things NOT to recommend.

Yeah, that was it. It just wanted print, not println. emotion_facepalm
The book is called Java Software Solutions: Foundations of Program Design, myProgramminglab is based off the book, and my class just uses this as a means of practice exercises.

Anyways, I thank you all very much. I sincerely appreciate the help, as I have no other programmers as friends.

Yipes!

The Amazon reviews on that book are not friendly. Even the people who really like it have serious complaints.

[pocketmonsterr6]

I hope the book for the next class is better. stare

From a purely pedantic, classroomy kind of way, print is technically the more correct answer, since it's not calling for a newline.
