System.out.println() vs \n in Java

Question

Let\'s say I wanted to print 5 lines. Which is the best method (for performance and readability).

System.out.println();
System.out.println();
System.out.prin         


        

Answer 1

For platform dependent line separator I would use:

String ls = System.getProperty("line.separator");
System.out.print(ls+ls+ls+ls+ls);

That should work on win, linux or mac.
