How to Print or Output a String in C?

We can use the printf() function to print a string in C language. It takes the string as an argument in double quotes (” “).

C

#include <stdio.h>

// Drivers code
int main()
{

    char str[13] = "GeeksforGeeks";
    printf("String: ");

    // %s is used to print a string
    printf("\"%s\"", str);

    return 0;
}

Output

String: "GeeksforGeeks"

How to Print or Output a String in C++?

To print the string, just place the string (the variable that stores the string’s value) after cout<<, as shown here in the following program.

C++

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{

    string str = "GeeksforGeeks";
    cout << "String: ";

    // Printing string using cout
    cout << str;
    return 0;
}

Output

String: GeeksforGeeks

How to Print or Output a String in Java?

In Java, we can simply use System.out.println() or System.out.print() methods to print the string, where,

• System is a class
• out is a public static field: it accepts output data.

Java

/*package whatever //do not write package name here */

import java.io.*;

class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        String str = "GeeksforGeeks";

        // Printing on same line using print()
        System.out.print("String: ");
        System.out.print(str);

        // Printing on next line using println()
        System.out.println("\nString: ");
        System.out.println(str);
    }
}

Output

String: GeeksforGeeks
String: 
GeeksforGeeks

How to Print or Output a String in C#?

A string is represented by class System.String. The “string” keyword is an alias for System.String class and instead of writing System.String one can use String which is a shorthand for System.String class.

Now to print the String in C#, we need to use the Console.Write() or Console.WriteLine() method, as shown below:

C#

using System;

public class GFG {

    static public void Main()
    {

        String str = "GeeksforGeeks";
        Console.Write("String: {0}", str);
    }
}

Output

String: GeeksforGeeks

How to Print or Output a String in Python?

Output

String:  GeeksforGeeks

How to Print or Output a String in JavaScript?
