How should I go about doing this? What would be the best way? I don't know if I should do it line by line like: Code: System.out.println("Hello"); System.out.println("Goodbye"); ...or not because that's not really efficient, right? And we have to use the proper print function, as well, and I'm not sure if that's it. It'd also be nice if I could do it without stretching my page out like a mile long just to code it properly...

Replies Majo Posted at 2:25 pm on Sep. 12, 2008 I don't know if that's "proper" or not, though. Gah, I think I'll quit this one and email the professor to see what he wants, my back is killing me and I'm hungry anyways. ampamp Posted at 2:23 pm on Sep. 12, 2008 The \n has to be inside the " marks. I don't see any reason to use them, when printing things out. I would just put them into indiviual println, to make it easier to read later. Majo Posted at 2:23 pm on Sep. 12, 2008 Alright, I'll give that a go and see what happens when I try to compile it, thanks. marshmellowman Posted at 2:20 pm on Sep. 12, 2008 The \n actually has to be within the text, no outside the quotes. So yours would be like: Code: System.out.println("Car make and model: Volkswagen Golf \n Expected Annual Mileage: " + mileage "\n Cost of a gallon of gas:" + gallon); That's how I remember it anyway for C++, it might be different for Java, I'm not too sure.

So you'd have: Code: System.out.println("Hello\nGoodbye"); All 6 previous replies displayed.
