JAVA Programming — Learning The Basics: Printing

One thing that has stuck out to me time and time again, is how important mastering the basics is in any endeavor we may embark upon. If you want to learn karate, the basics are essential, this is true with programming as well. Programming relies almost entirely on using bits of code as building blocks in order to create a program. What do we do when something goes wrong? Print statements seem to have become my best friend while I attempt to learn to program. Whenever I am stuck, I input print statements almost everywhere so that I can see what the output is versus what I intend for the output to be. This is the most essential tool I have learned thus far and saves me hours of frustration.

Remember, print statements are your friend!
