*
import java.util.*;
public class Messy {
public static void main(String[] args){
System.out.println("five");System.out.println("one");
System.out.println("six");
System.out.println( "four" ); System.out.println("two");
Please comment out this line and
this line as well with a hotkey that does multi-line commenting
List<String> numberWords = Arrays.asList("six", "seven", "eight", "nine");
for (String numberWord: numberWords) {
// Use the sout shortcut to write out numberW
}
}}

I don't remember there being a specific point where this shortcut is shown, as sout
is just an IDE shortcut for the System.out.println()
method.
If you type sout
in the IDE and press the Tab key. The method auto-completes and you just have to fill in your string to print.
Hope that helps. :)
Keep coding!
