I am writing a print statement that is going on and on and I want to break it up in two lines so its easier to read, rather than scrolling over..any help on how I do that?


Thanks

You can use the System.out.println("String here");
If that is what you want. It prints something in a new line.
Or you can use the '\n' character inside your print statements.

I am calling strings, ints variables all in one line of textpad of system.out.print("blah") and I know there is a way in visual basics to type a code and continue that same code statement on next line and it reads it the same like (space_) in VB.

Its hard to explain thats why I couldnt find anything in search.web

if any of that makes sense? like its just for me rather than the user

You can break up long lines of text and concatenate them with '+' like so:
java

System.out.println("This is a really long line of text here " +
                     "and it continues here, and " +
                     "even continues down here"
                     );

Did you tried the \n character?
Copy-paste here the statement and the output you want.
