title: Does the System.out object belong to class System or class PrintStream?
body: <p>I'm new to programming and I just started learning Java. I'm curious that does the object System.out belong to class System or class PrintStream?</p>
  
  <p>I referred to a textbook, JAVA CONCEPTS 4/e. The textbook states that <em>to use the out object in the System class, you must refer it as <code>System.out</code></em> but later in the book it states that the <code>System.out</code> belongs to class PrintStream.</p>
  
  <p>I've searched google and stackoverflow but all the answers are too hard for me to understand.</p>
