Servlet: different PrintWriter.print() and PrintWriter.println()

Question

HttpServletResponse response;
PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
out.print("Hello");
out.println("HelloWorld");

My question seem silly, but In Servlet, I see that both print() and println() do same thing !!!

If you want to go to another line, you must put <br> tag at the end of String.

Thanks :)

Answer 1

println appends a new line ( \\n ) after the printed text. New lines are not interpreted within HTML, therefore you won't see a difference between the output of println and print within the rendered HTML.

Answer 2

They don't do the same thing. println appends an end-of-line marker after the string.

The fact that that end-of-line isn't rendered by browers is another issue. Depending on what content-type you're outputing, it could be significant or not.
