System is a built-in class present in java.lang package.

This class has a final modifier, which means that, it cannot be inherited by other classes. It contains pre-defined methods and fields, which provides facilities like standard input, output, etc. out is a static final field (ie, variable)in System class which is of the type PrintStream (a built-in class, contains methods to print the different data values). static fields and methods must be accessed by using the class name, so ( System.out ). out here denotes the reference variable of the type PrintStream class.

System.out.print is a standard output function used in java. where System specifies the package name, out specifies the class name and print is a function in that class.

System.out leads the output to the standard output stream (normally mapped to the console screen).

System.err leads the output to the standard error stream (and, by default to the console, as well). The idea behind having these two is that the standard output should be used for regular program output, and standard error should be used for error messages
