Why System.out.println not PrintStream.println ?

807600Oct 26 2007 — edited Oct 27 2007

Hi, just a beginner question

I just wonder why should we use System.out.println, not PrintStream.println ?

the field out in the System class is the instance of PrintStream class, isn't it?

So why don't we just use the PrintStream class directly?

Thanks..
