What’s the meaning of System.out.println in Java?

by

No. Actually out is a static member in the System class (not as in .NET), being an instance of PrintStream. And println is a normal (overloaded) method of the PrintStream class.

See http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/lang/System.html#out.

Actually, if out/err/in were classes, they would be named with capital character (Out/Err/In) due to the naming convention (ignoring grammar).
