/**@class java.io.PrintStream @extends java.lang.Appendable @extends java.io.Closeable @extends java.io.FilterOutputStream A <code>PrintStream</code> adds functionality to another output stream, namely the ability to print representations of various data values conveniently. Two other features are provided as well. Unlike other output streams, a <code>PrintStream</code> never throws an <code>IOException</code>; instead, exceptional situations merely set an internal flag that can be tested via the <code>checkError</code> method. Optionally, a <code>PrintStream</code> can be created so as to flush automatically; this means that the <code>flush</code> method is automatically invoked after a byte array is written, one of the <code>println</code> methods is invoked, or a newline character or byte (<code>'\n'</code>) is written. <p> All characters printed by a <code>PrintStream</code> are converted into bytes using the platform's default character encoding. The <code>{@link java.io.PrintWriter}</code> class should be used in situations that require writing characters rather than bytes. @author Frank Yellin @author Mark Reinhold @since JDK1.0 */ var PrintStream = { /**Flushes the stream.
