I might be wrong, though... I'm fairly new to Java.

1,977 PointsSystem.out.println() and System.out.printf() both exist in java. But I am not sure about the console printf that treehouse is using here. Did treehouse write their own class for this? This is totally new way printing on the console in java. I haven't used this before. Are we trying to integrate javascript syntax with java?
