# Print Statements

Learn about the different print statements here.

* `println()`:  The `println()` command is the most basic and arguably the most used statement in JVM languages like Java, Kotlin and Cylvre. For languages like Kotlin and Cylvre, `println()` compiles down to the bytecode equivalent of`System.out.println()` in Java. It is a function that prints the desired output and adds a new line character `\n` at the end.

#### Example

```
func main(){
    println("Hello"); println("World");
}
```

* `print()`: The `print()` command is more or less the same as `println()`, but without the new line character insertion. In JVM languages like Kotlin and Cylvre, it compiles down to the bytecode equivalent of `System.out.print()` in Java. While the above example prints "Hello" and "World" on two separate lines, the below example will print them on the same line together, unless a space is explicitly declared.

#### Example

```
func main(){
    print("Hello");
    print("World");
}
```

* `print_err()`: We now come to error printing or `stderr`. This function, unique to Cylvre, compiles down to the bytecode equivalent of `System.err.println()` in Java. It prints an error and is sometimes highlighted red in some IDEs.

#### Example

```
func main(){
    x : 12;
    x = 10 ? println("is ten");
    x != 10 ? print_err("not ten");
}
```

Not to worry about the conditional syntax of Cylvre, it will be explained later.
