      I haven’t looked at the code but I always assumed that println was a call to print with a new line added to the original input.
      Something like this:

      void print(String text) { ... }
      void println(String text) { this.print(text + '\n'); }

        That is pretty much what it does except it doesn’t hardcode \n but instead uses the proper line ending for the platform it’s running on.

          I haven’t worked with java for a couple of months now, currently working in Delphi, so could not remember the how else to do new line except backslash n on top of my head. :-)
