Actually System is class define in java.lang package...
class System{                                                           //Member variables...                                                                     static PrintStream out;
.................................
//Member methods...
.................
}                                                                                                       so out is a static reference of PrintStream class,which is define in java.io package and println() is a method of PrintStream class...                           So altimately, we can call println() method of static out reference of System class.                 Syste.out.println();
