out.println

[scottjsn]

In a JSP page, I saw some codes like this:

<%
out.println("<script>");
...
out.println("</script>");
%>

My questions:

1)What is the "out"?

2)where does the "out.println" output the script?



Thanks

this is not the Java forum, this is the JavaScript forum...no relation at all apart from name.

most likely, out is the object variable reference to STDOUT which is the standard output, in most cases the screen.

although based on only seeing 2 lines, it could be anything.
