Output: Use the System.out object to print on the “terminal window” Use fancy user interface objects, like JOptionPane.

Use even fancier user interface objects to getinput from the mouse, buttons, sliders, etc Get input from files. Output with System.out System.out contains a PrintStream object (attached to the terminal window) What actions can a PrintStream object do?
