What is the output of this Java code snippet?

Consider the following Java code. What will it print to the console?

Java

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.print("Hello");
        System.out.print(" ");
        System.out.print("World");
    }
}

A Hello World

B Hello\nWorld

C HelloWorld\n

D Hello World\n

💡 Hint

System.out.print does not add a new line after printing.

System.out.print prints text exactly as given without adding a new line. So the three print statements print "Hello", then a space, then "World" all on the same line.

What does this Java code print?

Look at this code. What is the exact output?

Java

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.print(5 + 3);
        System.out.print("+");
        System.out.print(2);
    }
}

A 5+32

B 8+2

C 532

D 10

💡 Hint

Remember that + between numbers adds, but + between strings concatenates.

5 + 3 is evaluated first as 8, then the string "+" is printed, then 2 is printed. So the output is "8+2".

What is the output of this Java code with mixed print and println?

What will this code print exactly?

Java

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.print("Start");
        System.out.println("Middle");
        System.out.print("End");
    }
}

A StartMiddleEnd

B Start\nMiddleEnd

C StartMiddle\nEnd

D Start\nMiddle\nEnd

💡 Hint

System.out.println adds a new line after printing, System.out.print does not.

The first print prints "Start" without new line, then println prints "Middle" and adds a new line, then print prints "End" on the new line. So output is "StartMiddle" then new line, then "End".

What is the output of this Java code with character and string prints?

What does this code print?

Java

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.print('A');
        System.out.print("B");
        System.out.print(67);
    }
}

A 65B67

B ABC

C ABC67

D AB67

💡 Hint

Single quotes print the character, numbers print the number itself.

System.out.print('A') prints character A, System.out.print("B") prints string B, System.out.print(67) prints number 67 as digits. So output is "AB67".

What is the output of this Java code with expressions inside print?

What will this code print exactly?

Java

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.print("Result: " + 2 + 3);
        System.out.print(" and " + (2 + 3));
    }
}

A Result: 23 and 5

B Result: 5 and 5

C Result: 23 and 23

D Result: 5 and 23

💡 Hint

String concatenation happens left to right, parentheses change order of operations.

In the first print, "Result: " + 2 + 3 is evaluated left to right as string concatenation: "Result: 2" + 3 = "Result: 23". In the second print, (2 + 3) is evaluated first as 5, so output is " and 5". Combined output is "Result: 23 and 5".
