Scanner and System.out

Yes, I wanted to use Treehouse to add to what I am currently learning in school. I started the java course and notice in the beginning he uses console.printf and console.readLine . and while that is fine I guess. I am wondering does he eventually use Scanner? and system.out? If it is a few video lessons before he gets to it that is fine, but if this is all he uses then I don't think it will add to my school learning.

Ronald, yes, later on they will use system.out in the videos and exercises. If I remember correctly, system.out becomes the usual way in which they display things in the console.

Hope that helps and that the courses can add to your school learning. I have certainly found them helpful.
