The java.io.PrintStream.println() method prints an array of characters and then terminate the line. This method behaves as though it invokes print(char[]) and then println(). Using this method you can print the data on the console. import java.io.*; public class PrintStreamDemo { public static void main(String[] args) { char[] c = {'a', 'b', 'c'}; // create print stream object PrintStream ps = new PrintStream(System.out); // print an array and change line ps.println(c); ps.print("New Line"); // flush the stream ps.flush(); } } Output abc New Line
