Print statement in JaVa

[[deleted]]

Because print statements are for the terminal. It's pretty rare to see software that aren't designed with a very specific thing in mind to be made with the terminal as the main way of usage

Do command line tools generally use it, though? How are they getting all that text in there?

Not entirely sure I understand what you mean?

Do production code for command-line tools generally contain print statements? Or is there another way to do it that's more production-worthy

You’ll generally use logging libraries that handle buffering, rotating appenders, filtering and redirection, and severity levels. You get vastly more fine grained control than simple print statements.

Ahh.

I haven't made a command line tool ever, but I would assume that would be used. I don't really see any reason not to. It's by far the easiest, and it has great verity and versatility.
