A question concerning different types of java.

The past year in University I have learned how to print out using System.out.println ("..."). How come we don't use that and what has "console" to do with it?

Name.java 
// I have setup a java.io.Console object for you named console
String firstName = "Nikola";
console.printf ("Nikola");
