# Class PrintWriter

java.lang.Object
java.io.Writer
java.io.PrintWriter

All Implemented Interfaces:
  `Closeable`, `Flushable`, `Appendable`, `AutoCloseable`

public class PrintWriter extends Writer
Prints formatted representations of objects to a text-output stream. This class implements all of the `print` methods found in `PrintStream`. It does not contain methods for writing raw bytes, for which a program should use unencoded byte streams.

Unlike the `PrintStream` class, if automatic flushing is enabled it will be done only when one of the `println`, `printf`, or `format` methods is invoked, rather than whenever a newline character happens to be output. These methods use the platform's own notion of line separator rather than the newline character.

Methods in this class never throw I/O exceptions, although some of its constructors may. The client may inquire as to whether any errors have occurred by invoking `checkError()`.

This class always replaces malformed and unmappable character sequences with the charset's default replacement string. The CharsetEncoder class should be used when more control over the encoding process is required.

    public PrintWriter append(CharSequence csq)
    Appends the specified character sequence to this writer.

    An invocation of this method of the form `out.append(csq)` when `csq` is not `null`, behaves in exactly the same way as the invocation

            out.write(csq.toString())

    Depending on the specification of `toString` for the character sequence `csq`, the entire sequence may not be appended. For instance, invoking the `toString` method of a character buffer will return a subsequence whose content depends upon the buffer's position and limit.

    Specified by:
      `append` in interface `Appendable`
    Overrides:
      `append` in class `Writer`
    Parameters:
      `csq` - The character sequence to append. If `csq` is `null`, then the four characters `"null"` are appended to this writer.
    Returns:
      This writer
    Since:
      1.5

  - ### append

    public PrintWriter append(CharSequence csq, int start, int end)
    Appends a subsequence of the specified character sequence to this writer.

    An invocation of this method of the form `out.append(csq, start, end)` when `csq` is not `null`, behaves in exactly the same way as the invocation

            out.write(csq.subSequence(start, end).toString())

    Specified by:
      `append` in interface `Appendable`
    Overrides:
      `append` in class `Writer`
    Parameters:
      `csq` - The character sequence from which a subsequence will be appended. If `csq` is `null`, then characters will be appended as if `csq` contained the four characters `"null"`.
      `start` - The index of the first character in the subsequence
      `end` - The index of the character following the last character in the subsequence
    Returns:
      This writer
    Throws:
      `IndexOutOfBoundsException` - If `start` or `end` are negative, `start` is greater than `end`, or `end` is greater than `csq.length()`
    Since:
      1.5

  - ### append

    public PrintWriter append(char c)
    Appends the specified character to this writer.

    An invocation of this method of the form `out.append(c)` behaves in exactly the same way as the invocation

            out.write(c)

    Specified by:
      `append` in interface `Appendable`
    Overrides:
      `append` in class `Writer`
    Parameters:
      `c` - The 16-bit character to append
    Returns:
      This writer
    Since:
      1.5
